Description
Bulk Fermentable Brewing Sugar for Beer, Cider, Wine & Craft Beverage Production
Dextrose Corn Sugar, also known as glucose or brewing sugar, is a clean, highly fermentable sugar used by homebrewers, craft brewers, Brew on Premise operations, and microbreweries. Unlike regular table sugar, dextrose is a monosaccharide that yeast can ferment efficiently, helping support smooth fermentation and consistent brewing results.
Ideal for beer brewing, priming, bottle conditioning, natural carbonation, gravity adjustment, and fermentation support, dextrose dissolves easily and ferments cleanly when used properly. This bulk 22.7 kg / 50 lb size is perfect for frequent brewing, large batches, and commercial brewing needs.
