    Hello All,  was at our local hardware,garden, pet supplies etc. shop the other day and in their home brew section they had bags of glucose powder.  I was wondering if this could be used in the same way as dextrose as it would work out to be quite a bit cheaper.  Thanks Catherine

    Hello Catherine
    Glucose is another name for Dextrose.

    Just make sure that the Glucose powder has no sugar added to it and is pure glucose, sometimes brewing depts. have something called "Brewing sugar" which is glucose and sugar mixed together.
    cheers
