Is there really much of a difference between using sugar or dextrose for a sugar wash?
I have some very old dextrose from my early days of brewing beer and attempts at distilling.
Currently, I have a sugar (3kg) & dextrose (3kg) wash that's been fermenting for 11 days and still pops off through the airlock. I only had 3kg of sugar so I added the dextrose.
Will the dextrose give a cleaner end product?
Does dextrose have a set shelf life? Mine is about 10 years old. I have about 8kg left.
Appreciate any info.
Cheers,
