I've been brewing for some time now, and my dad was brewing before me. I don't understand why people are against the use or corn sugar. Corn sugar is often referred to as "brewer's sugar" because 1) it ferments better than many other types of sugar and 2) it doesn't leave the same flavor residue that other sugars leave. If you're not going to use corn sugar, I'd say use an alternative like honey, or molasses. But don't ever use table sugar!

That said home brewing is a remarkably satisfying hobby. I enjoy it every time. And it's a great hobby to do with friends, neighbors or family. And within a couple of months of brewing day (depending on the beer anywhere from one month to upwards of six), you've got a whole case of beer...that YOU MADE!
