Glucose seems to cost more, why is this?, is there any difference between the two?, and if so does it make a difference to your beer? For a straight glucose/dextrose + corn syrup blend, what proportions of each do you recommend? A lot of questions I know, I just want to make the best bloody beer I can!

Glucose is a blend of two sugar molecules, Dextrose and fructose (stop me if I am wrong please) which is actually harder to breakdown as they are joined at the hip.

Dex is exactly that dextrose, which everything is compared to through DE or dextrose equivalent.

Yes it will make a difference,

Go all malt and be the best you can be.

Sorry Dogger,

Glucose is simple carbohydrate or monosaccharide.
The name Dextrose can be used interchangeably with glucose.
Sucrose is glucose+fructose
Maltose is glucose+glucose
Maltodextrin is a chain of 3-20 glucose molecules.

Thank god all that biochemistry came in handy.
