2009年2月4日 · It's probably better to use only 1 pound of corn sugar and replace the other pound with dry malt extract, or even replace both pounds with the DME. There is NO difference between "corn sugar" and "dextrose". Dextrose is the chemical name for corn sugar.

2012年10月18日 · I have always used regular table sugar but recently I purchased some dextrose. Has anyone used dextrose for making wine ? Is it more concentrated than regular sugar ? And how was the taste difference ? Is it better for dry wines or sweet wines ?

2007年4月23日 · Use dextrose, table sugar is a bad idea. Use 3/4 to 1 cup of dextrose depending on how much carbonation you want... or, like Evan suggested use 1.25-1.5 cup of Dry malt extract (DME). I recommend DME, won't really effect the flavor of your beer at all.

2010年6月11日 · I see some recipies that call for dextrose. I tried to do some research but not quite narrowed what it is used for down. Is Dextrose (Corn Sugar right?) used to "dry" beers out? E.g. it should ferment completly, leaving all alcohol …

2012年2月20日 · Dextrose (corn sugar) is generally used for two purposes in home brewing - 1) Provide additional fermentable sugars to "dry out" your beer / increase alcohol content without altering the flavor profile - using dextrose will affect the body / mouth feel.

2016年4月7日 · Dextrose is the name of a simple sugar chemically identical to glucose (blood sugar) that is made from corn. While dextrose is used in baking products as a sweetener, it also has medical purposes. Dextrose is dissolved in solutions that are given intravenously, which can be combined with other drugs, or used to increase a person’s blood sugar. Dextrose is also …

2007年12月12日 · I heard from a few people that you can use powdered sugar as a substitute for dextrose and it won't change anything. Is this true? Thoughts?

2009年7月26日 · Yes, Dextrose is the same thing as corn sugar which most people use to prime for bottling. How much you'll need will depend on how much CO2 you want. But 5oz of dextrose will give you about 2.5 volumes of CO2. Mix the dextrose with about 2 cups of water and boil for ten minutes, let it cool then pour it in your bottling bucket before racking your beer into it.

2012年6月13日 · As mentioned, the dextrose will ferment out - it's purpose is to thin the beer to prevent it from becoming too thick/syrupy. The amount of priming sugar will depend on the maximum temperature reached during primary/secondary fermentation as that will determine the residual CO2 in solution. There are various calculators online, and Pliny is fairly carbonated, …

2013年10月3日 · There shouldn't be any negative effects of adding the dextrose, but at the same time, the only positive effect would be to boost the alcohol content and possibly make it seem a bit drier. You should be able to leave it out with no problems. OTOH, assuming that the original kit is 1.5Kg (the usual size for these kits), then adding just 1Kg of DME is still going to leave it fairly …
