Brown Sugar

[yahoo]

I just recently purchased my EZ caps and gave it a quick go with all
6 caps at once for roughly about a 2 week fermentation period based
off of a friend's recipe.

However instead of the standard 1 cup of sugar, I did half a cup of
white sugar and half a cup of brown sugar. I found that my
concoctions contained a higher alcohol content and therefore "dry"
taste.

I made:
A straight honey mead
Honey mead with apple juice
White Wine
Red Wine
Pear Cider
Apple Cider

And there were all much more potent than my friend's batches. I was
wondering if anyone had any experience with this. I was also
thinking of varying the amount of brown sugar to 1/4 of a cup and
3/4 cup white sugar.

Opinons, Questions, Comments?
