Hello Amanda and welcome
It's going to be quite a time, I think before one can buy glucose in the supermarket aisle with the sugars, although you can get liquid glucose in the cooking section at Coles and Rice malt syrup in their health food section.
I live in Sydney, where these stores are, I don't know where you live.
I get my glucose at a local brewing shop, he now has quite a lot of fructose free people buying from him. It's actually labelled as "dextrose" in the brew shop.
The supermarkets used to sell it in their home brew sections and I think Big W may still have it. My local Kmart only has home brewing kits now and you can't buy it separately.
When you say you are "slowly being educated"............ have you read David's books?....... if not, I really recommend them...they give you quite a fast education actually,.
Hope that helps
cheers
Freda
