The details
Dextrose is pure glucose made from corn, also sold as dextrose monohydrate. Unlike white sugar it contains no sucrose, so yeast ferments it cleanly without the cidery flavours sucrose can leave behind. The 25kg bag is the bulk size for regular spirit washes and big brewing days.
What it is used for
- Spirit washes: 7kg of dextrose makes one 25L wash with Still Spirits Classic 6 turbo yeast, for about 3.8L at 93% ABV through a Turbo 500 (Still Spirits rated output). A 25kg bag covers three washes with 4kg to spare.
- Air Still Pro vodka: dissolve 2.5kg in warm water and top up to 10L for one wash. See our Air Still Pro vodka guide.
- Beer, cider and ginger beer: added alongside malt or a recipe blend to lift the alcohol and dry out the finish. Our Old Fashioned Ginger Beer recipe uses 1kg per batch, and our Belgian Blonde recipe kit uses 500g for a dry, crisp finish.

Shipping: because of its weight this bag goes by courier, not Australia Post. A few areas outside the metro areas cost more to reach than the freight quoted at checkout. If yours is one of them, we will contact you after you order to sort it out.
