Demarera is fine, or raw cane sugar.
The white stuff you have in tea has been refined to remove some of the stuff you want

Raw sugar is brown. White sugar has been treated to remove contaminants and make it look more palatable to the consumer. I'd always go for raw molasses to add to a bait. Unless you're looking for a pure saccharide such as fructose.

Cane sugar is dark brown

I though normal white sugar was usually Beet sugar. Cane sugar to me is golden castor.

Another 'beginner' question from me on this one. When we talk about Cane sugar (simple recipe at the bottom of the thread), are we talking Demerara sugar?

How much of the fructose/ syrup per kg of maize are people using?

I started to add the fructose into the bottle and stir it with a bank stick but was a nightmare. In the end I just emptied the syrup into a bait bucket, mixed in the fructose and poured it back into the bottle

Everything is so sticky now. It's like being on the cleanup crew after a swingers party, stuff's got everywhere.

Just in case anyone is tempted to dump a bag of fructose into the syrup without reading Marks instructions below. Just don't okay, don't!

Ordered a bottle of corn syrup and some fructose from Amazon and mixed them together this morning and then poured a load over my spod mix ready for my 4 night trip tomorrow. Wanted something nice and sticky and this has worked a treat

Thanks, Mark. Have known about fructose for many years, but never in combination with corn syrup. Good on ya!

That bottle of corn syrup below, has the contents of that 1kg bag of fructose sugar on the left infused into it. It’s a very small amount left in the bag that I could not fit into the bottle.
That below is the best fermentation aid there is that I've ever found bar none (Glucose/Fructose). It’s all about what that will create in a bait, not so much the liquid itself as such. If you put that into boillies, it will make them fur up rapidly too. Far quicker than normal.

Now you all went and got your Daesang corn syrup.... Now you can make it even better.
The American stuff is as the name suggests, high in fructose. But this is for fish in a waterborne environment to ferment particles, so we are now going to take it to the extreme.
Take a 1kg bag of fructose sugar, run it through a coffee grinder to make it ultra fine. Stick a funnel into the top of your 5l bottle of Daesang... And add the fructose sugar slowly, using a wooden spoons long handle to stir inside the bottle. You can get 1kg of sugar into a full bottle pretty much, but I always tip a little bit out first to make things easier. At first the corn syrup will go very thick and sticky... But pop the bottle onto a radiator or into the sun, and it will thin back down. Pop a dab on your tongue, it's very lush and moorish. You can see why the yanks get addicted to it.
Get as much fructose into that bottle as you possibly can.
What you have done, is made yourself a 5l bottle of carp crack... And it cost less than a score delivered.
You can thank me later
