Some years ago I was able to buy 'wheat sugar' from a brewing shop in
islington. I was told at the time that this *by-passed* a few of the
initial fermentation processes. It certainly produced quick results, when
mixed with apple juice.

Does anyone know where I could buy 'wheat sugar' in reasonably small
quantities to start off with. I'm in north london u.k. thanks.

I think you are talking about wheat based malt; you should be able to
get that at any homebrew outlet. This link is just an example.
Muntons makes it too and is based out of the UK.

In the US you can buy it in 1, 3 and 55 pound increments at most any
homebrew outlet.
