Dextrose brewing sugar 1kg

Dextrose, also known as brewing sugar, glucose, or corn sugar, is a highly fermentable sugar commonly used in home brewing and distilling applications. It dissolves quickly, ferments cleanly, and is fully consumed by yeast during fermentation, making it an ideal ingredient for increasing alcohol content without adding unwanted flavours or heaviness to the finished brew.

In beer brewing, dextrose can be used in place of standard white sugar (sucrose) to help create a lighter-bodied, cleaner-tasting beer. Because it is 100% fermentable, it leaves little residual sweetness and can help improve dryness and drinkability in a wide range of beer styles.

Dextrose is also widely used as a priming sugar when bottling or kegging beer. Adding a measured amount before packaging allows yeast to naturally carbonate the beer, producing a consistent and reliable level of carbonation.

Common Uses

• Increasing alcohol content in beer, cider, and spirits
• Lightening body and finish in beer recipes
• Priming beer for natural carbonation during bottling or kegging
• Supporting fast, efficient fermentation

Benefits

• 100% fermentable by brewing yeast
• Fast dissolving and easy to use
• Clean fermentation profile
• Suitable for beer, cider, ginger beer, and spirit washes

Whether you are brewing your first batch or refining a favourite recipe, dextrose is a versatile brewing ingredient that delivers reliable fermentation performance and clean results.
