A 1kg bag of Brewing & Winemaking Sugar - pure dextrose (glucose) for home brewed beer, wine and cider. One bag is the right amount for many standard beer kits that ask you to add 1kg of brewing sugar.

Why choose dextrose

An easily fermentable simple sugar for cleaner tasting results
Ferments cleanly and completely, leaving no residual flavour
Unlike household white sugar (sucrose), it does not need breaking down by the yeast first

Good with

Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 - a malt-and-sugar blend if you want more body than sugar alone
Coopers Carbonation Drops - an easy alternative for priming bottles
Brewing & Winemaking Sugar 10kg (10 x 1kg) - better value if you brew often

A simple staple for beginners and regular kit brewers alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of sugar is it?

Pure dextrose (glucose) - the preferred sugar for home brewing beer, wine and cider.

Why not use household sugar?

Dextrose is a simple sugar that ferments cleanly and completely, leaving no residual flavour. Household white sugar (sucrose) is slower for yeast to use and can affect the taste.

How much do I need?

Use the amount in your kit's instructions - many beer kits ask for 1kg.

Can I use it for priming?

Yes - dextrose is ideal for priming beer for carbonation, in bottles or a barrel.
