Brewing & Winemaking Sugar is dextrose monohydrate, the sugar most home brewers reach for in beer, lager, wine and cider. This pack holds 10kg split into ten 1kg bags, so you can open one bag at a time and keep the rest sealed.
Why brewing sugar rather than household sugar
- Starts fermenting quicker and ferments cleaner
- Household sugar takes longer for the yeast to use, which can produce by-products that affect the taste
- Dissolves quickly and helps give a cleaner flavour
Pack details
- Contents: 10 x 1kg bags (10kg in total)
- Type: dextrose monohydrate
- Uses: beers, lagers, wines, ciders - for the main fermentation and for priming beer in bottles or a barrel
How to use
Add the amount your kit asks for, dissolved in warm water, at the start of fermentation. For priming, add a small measured amount to each bottle or to the barrel before sealing, as your kit instructions say.
Ideal for regular kit brewers who want sugar in pre-weighed 1kg bags. Kits such as the Bulldog Brews 1.75kg kits need sugar adding; single 1kg bags are also available as Brewing & Winemaking Sugar 1kg.
