Glucose in beer

[Frisp]

Folks I have been gifted 8kg of in date Glucose powder.. As not all sugars are created equal and as glucose is not generally listed as a replacement for brewing sugar or granulated etc Im wondering if it has any place in brewing?

What is called brewing sugar is actually glucose/dextrose. It can be added as syrup, which is just the powder dissolved in water.

Glucose dissolves better than sucrose, and so is easy to use at bottling time.

Duvel is brewed with an addition of glucose. Want a very pale beer? Replace part of the pilsner/lager malt with wheat malt and add up to 15% of fermentables as glucose.
