Buy it at the Brewing store.........
I buy mine in 5# bags. I use it in Brewing because it is a simpler sugar molecule, AIUI, than cane or beet sugar. It is easier to ferment and it gives less "off-flavors". I don't know how it's made.
After my initial fermentation in the Jug, I use 3/4 to a full cup, in a batch of beer when I bottle it, to give me a measured in-the-bottle fermentation. It gives the beer it's characteristic fizz, and the foam on top. Flat beer, without the fizz is not nearly as much fun.
I could use malt extract for the same purpose. But corn sugar is much
cheaper.
Some folks cheapen their beer by using part corn sugar in their initial fermentation.
It gives the same alcohol content. But it makes a thinner beer. Less tasty.
Anyone with a discerning taste can tell it, as soon as they taste it.
Have fun.
