Commonly used to aid in the fermentation process of brewing beer or for priming during bottling, dextrose sugar is an affordable way to create high-quality, light-bodied beverages without changing the flavor profile. Plus, this sugar gives beers an extra sweetener that isn't overpowering or sticky-sweet in comparison to other sweeteners such as malt syrup or cane sugar.
