Will be putting down a Morgans canadian light later in the year for the wife just wondering the what would be the minimum amount of dextrose? the coopers book recommends 250g = 3.2-3.5% alc as an absolute minimum - would 100g be all right?

I'm only guessing, but I reckon you'd be fine. Although, expect fermentation to be finished in a day.
With the Coopers ginger beer for example, there are 2 options when making it; alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The later is made with no fermentables added and the yeast is given only a couple of hours to tidy things up before bottling.
My guess would be the same for beer, but I'm happy to let you try it first Polar
There is no such thing as bad beer. There is only good beer and better beer.

Yep, a 1.7KG can and 10 liters of water gave me about 4.5% alcohol and 19 stubbies. Not too bad taste, Drinkable. A bit over hoppped but live and learn...
