Is dextrose good or bad? - The Blood Sugar Diet by Michael Mosley 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
Using Dextrose for Making Wine - Homebrew Talk In the beers I've made I found sucrose to give beers a cidery taste where as dextrose was more neutral I did a comparison once of two wines identical but one used dextrose and one sucrose, the sucrose wine took longer to ferment in the primary There was no dramatic taste difference Dextrose is much easier to dissolve
Dextrose substitute - Homebrew Talk Dextrose = a form of glucose, aka d-glucose or corn sugar Sucrose = a combo of glucose and fructose, aka table sugar The primary difference is between these sugars have to do with the way they are metabolized Of the two, dextrose is said to be slightly more easily metabolized by yeast
Can I substitute for Dextrose? - Homebrew Talk -Dextrose has only about 80% the potential yield of table sugar, so you'll need less table sugar -Yeast handle different sugars differently Dextrose is supposed to impart a smoothness and mildness, while I think sucrose (table sugar) is drier and crisper
Dextrose vs Granulated Sugar - Homebrew Talk Dextrose is 2 table sugars Dextrose is a monosaccharide, sucrose (table sugar) is a disaccharide, which when broken down results in dextrose or glucose (both monosaccharides) Dextrose would be slightly easier to ferment, but if your yeast is healthy it will eat it up
When to add dextrose - Homebrew Talk 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
Specific gravity of dextrose - Homebrew Talk My question is if my original gravity for Apfelwein (without adding dextrose) was 1 046, and I added 2 lbs of dextrose what will my O G be for the batch? Note I made a 5 gallon batch of Apfelwein What I came up with is using the 1 046 S G points per gallon per pound for dextrose provided by ProMash, is 046 5 = 0092 which multiplied by 2
Using Dextrose in Beer? - Homebrew Talk Or, you could boil up a dextrose water mix, and add to your primary fermenter at high krausen (this is my preferred method) I like to add atleast half a pound of dextrose to my light bodied IPAs, and ive used up to 1 5 pounds (for a 5 gallon batch) with good results
Priming with sucrose vs. dextrose vs. DME - Homebrew Talk So awhile back I saw a thread where someone said priming with dextrose or DME was a better option over sucrose (table sugar) Since then, I've seen others say priming with dextrose is best, while another thread had a bunch of people saying they use sucrose since its a lot cheaper than getting dextrose from the LHBS and achieves the same results
