Brewing sugar is a single sugar which is dextrose which is chemically the same as glucose.
Brewing sugar is a simple sugar found naturally in food such as fruit, honey and corn and some areas brewing sugar is called corn sugar
Brewing sugar is a Dextrose Monohydrate, which is a Mono Saccharide (one molecule of glucose).
Granulated sugar is a Di-saccharide (2 molecules).
Using dextrose is the way to start your brew quicker, and the ferment will be cleaner.
Regular household sugar has to be 'split' by the yeast, which produces by-products and impurities.
These by-products can have a taste that does affect the taste of home-brewed drinks.
