For beer, dissolve the coarse crystals completely in hot wort near the end of the boil, or dissolve them separately in boiled water before a later addition. When Demerara replaces part of the malt fermentables, it can help produce a drier, lighter-bodied result. When added on top of an existing recipe, it mainly raises original gravity and potential alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDemerara has more flavor than plain white sugar, so it is not a neutral substitute in every recipe. Start with a recipe designed for dark or specialty sugar when you want predictable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 lb bag:\u003c\/strong\u003e practical for a single batch or recipe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 lb bag:\u003c\/strong\u003e economical for repeat brewing and larger batches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place.
