Product Description

•••••
Pure Dextrose converted from corn starch. 100% fermentable.

Corn Sugar, or dextrose, is used to "prime" your beer to produce natural carbonation in the bottle. "Priming" is the act of adding a small amount of fresh fermentable sugar to the beer just before bottling so that the residual yeast will consume it and produce carbonation in the sealed bottle. We recommend corn sugar for this purpose because it is easy for the yeast to consume and has a neutral flavor profile, meaning it will leave your beer tasting the way you designed it!
 
Use 4 or 5 oz of corn sugar to prime 5 gallons prior to bottling. Dissolve in 2 cups of water and boil for 3 minutes to sanitize. Allow to cool prior to mixing with your beer. 

Also can be used to boost gravity and dry out the finish in a beer. 

A rough estimate to boost ABV in 5 gallons of beer by 1% is 3.4 ounces of Corn Sugar.
