Premium Domestic Source: Sourced entirely from 100% US corn.
Non-GMO: Meets modern consumer demands for clean-label ingredients.
100% Fermentable: Guarantees a reliable, complete fermentation with no residual sweetness.
Neutral Flavor Profile: Will not add any unwanted color, flavor, or aroma to your beverage, protecting your recipe's integrity.
High Purity & Solubility: Dissolves quickly and clearly in water.
Fuel your fermentation with the cleanest, most reliable sugar on the market. Our Non-GMO, Domestic Dextrose Monohydrate (Corn Sugar) is the industry standard for beverage producers seeking purity, consistency, and high performance.
As a simple sugar (glucose), our dextrose is 100% fermentable by yeast. This ensures a rapid and complete fermentation, leaving behind a clean, neutral flavor profile that lets your final product—whether beer, hard seltzer, or wine—shine.
We offer competitive pricing on bulk sacks for full-scale production and also provide smaller, conveniently packaged sizes for pilot batches, lab work, or homebrewing.
Applications for Your Beverage
For Beer Brewers
1. Priming & Bottle Conditioning
Dextrose is the classic choice for "priming," or creating natural carbonation in the bottle or keg. We recommend it because it's easy for the yeast to consume and has a perfectly neutral flavor, leaving your beer tasting exactly as you designed it.
Standard Use: Use 4-5 oz. of dextrose to prime 5 gallons of beer.
Sanitary Prep: Dissolve the sugar in 1-1.5 pints of water and boil for 5 minutes to sanitize before gently mixing it with your beer.
2. Gravity & ABV Boosting
Need to hit your Original Gravity (OG) target without affecting flavor? Dextrose is the solution.
Clean Addition: Adds fermentable sugars without increasing body, color, or adding the "cidery" taste associated with other sugars.
Yield: Adds 1.042 points per pound per gallon (PPG) to your specific gravity.
For Hard Seltzer, Wine & Other Beverages
Hard Seltzer: Dextrose is the ideal fermentable base for hard seltzer. Its clean profile and high fermentability create a neutral alcohol base that is perfect for flavoring.
Yeast Propagation: Use it as a pure carbohydrate source for growing and propagating yeast slurries.
Wine: Can be used to increase the potential alcohol (chaptalization) in wines without adding non-grape flavors.
Technical Data and Usage Guides
Gravity Calculation
PPG: 1.042 (Adds 1.042 to specific gravity when 1 lb. is dissolved in 1 gallon of water)
Formula to Hit Target Gravity:
Dextrose Needed (lbs.) = (Batch Volume [gal] $\times$ (Target Gravity - Actual Gravity)) / 0.042
Example: To raise 5 gallons from 1.040 to 1.050:
(5 x (1.050 - 1.040)) / 0.042 = 1.19 lbs. of dextrose
Carbonation Guide
This guide helps you calculate the CO2 volumes added by priming. Total carbonation is the sum of the CO2 retained after fermentation plus the CO2 added by priming.

One fourth as sweet as cane sugar (sucrose) and non-fermentable by yeast. Use lactose when you want to sweeten a dry or bitter wine or beer. Also used to add sweetness and body to beers such as sweet stouts (milk stouts). Add a small amount, mix, and taste. Lactose can be added until desired flavor is obtained. There is no fermentation period or rest needed, so wine/beer may be bottled immediately. Add to hot water and mix thoroughly before adding to wine/beer. Add at end of fermentation, before bottling.
Usage: 8 oz. per 5 gallons, or to taste
Common name: Milk sugar
A quick and easy way to carbonate your beer!
Add one of these carbonation drops to each 12 oz beer bottle, or two drops to a 22 oz bottle, while you're bottling your beer. These pre-measured lozenge shaped drops give you an exact amount of glucose and sucrose in you beer bottle. These drops are prefered by some homebrewers for the consistent, predictable levels of carbonation that they can achieve. They dissolve quickly and are easy to use.
27% glucose and 73% Sucrose. 250 grams or .55 lb per bag. Approximately 80 drops per bag.
Traditionally used in Belgian beers, these Sweet Orange Peels will not give you a metallic taste like some other kinds of Oranges tend to do. If you are familiar with the taste of Grand Marnier, this is the sort of flavor you will find in these peels. Great for that added depth in your holiday beer, strong ales, and Belgians. Add about 1/2 ounce per 5 gallons for the last 15 minutes of the boil. Can be combined with Paradise seed and Honey for added depth.
Give your homebrew that refining touch.
Adding Maltodextrin to your extract brew will help you fine-tune the body and mouthfeel without affecting the flavor. The Maltodextrin molecule is a chain of sugars between 4 and 20 dextrose units in length. That means it is only 3% fermentable by brewer's yeast, and so will contribute body to the finished beer. It is naturally present in all finished beers, up to 6% by weight, but the grains that yield it in All Grain brews don’t respond well to steeping in extract batches.
Our maltodextrin is composed of .5% dextrose, 2.5% Maltose, 3.5% maltotriose, 93.5% higher saccharides, and is made from corn. It is often also referred to as Dextrin or Dextrine Powder.
Add to the wort at the same time as the extracts.
Cacao Nibs are a great way to introduce rich chocolate flavor into any beer. Impress your friends with a unique tasting experience!
Cacao nibs (also referred to as cocoa nibs) are the key ingredient in chocolate. They are crushed and roasted seeds from the cacao plant. Tcho Nibs have a wonderful cocoa smell to them, and will provide a very subdued cocoa-like flavor to any beer.
You can use these cacao nibs like you would a dry hop, by adding the cacao nibs to your secondary fermenter or keg for a couple of weeks (4 ounces per 5 gallons is a great place to start), allowing the beer to draw out the subtle flavors and aromas of the cacao nibs. They can also be used in the boil or mash - wherever you would like to experiment with them. Adding the nibs pre-boil will impart some bitterness, so use a lot less than you would when adding them to a keg. Stone Brewing Company made a stout using cacao nibs in the boil to actually replace some of the hops in the recipe.
These super high quality TCHO cacao nibs go great with darker beers like porters and stouts, but could blend with any beer - perhaps a wit or a saison! TCHO is an American chocolate company in San Francisco, dedicated to producing high end chocolates.
For a traditional Belgian witbier, freshly ground coriander seed is a must. Great when combined with orange peel.
To use, grind whole coriander seeds in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Add 1/2 to 1 oz per 5 gallons of wort during the last 5 minutes of the boil.
Bitter orange peel is a great way to give your Witbier style brews a traditional citrus infusion!
Sourced from bitter orange varieties, Bitter Orange Peel adds a mild citrus aroma and flavor to your homemade beer. This is the traditional ingredient used to add orange character to Belgian witbiers, and so is the best choice for clone recipes. Imparts a slightly different flavor than Sweet Orange Peel, which is sourced from sweet tasting orange varieties.
Clear rock candi sugar from Belgium. Add fermentable sugar without adding color or strong flavors. Use to boost the gravity of Belgian and other beers without adding residual sweetness. Color: 0 degrees Lovibond.
Vanilla beans are a great way for the adventurous homebrewer to impart a different and unique flavor to their beers.
These Bourbon Vanilla Beans from Madagascar are fresh, (unlike the dry beans you typically see in grocery stores) and ready to be used in whatever beer you like.
To use, simply slice the bean open lengthwise and add to your Secondary or Keg. Remove when the Vanilla flavor is at the desired strength. 1-2 beans are fine for a slight Vanilla flavor, but some brewers will push the limits and add the third bean. Are you a three-bean-brewer? (This would typically be done in an Oatmeal Stout or a similarly heavy beer.)
Premium, Fire-Toasted Oak Cubes from Stavin
Medium + Toast American Oak will impart flavors of campfire, vanilla, roasted coffee and butterscotch.
These fire-toasted oak cubes are as close as you can come to the full range of flavors you would get from aging your beer in a full sized barrel, unlike convection-toased cubes.
The difference is that convection toasted cubes are made by cutting the stave to size, then passing the small cubes through a toasting chamber. Stavin fire-toasts their staves whole, just like they would when making a barrel, and then cuts them down to size. The result is a gradation of toasting from the surface through to the center of the cube, where each different toast level represents a different flavor set that the oak will give your beer. The result is a much more complex and natural profile; by comparison convection toasted cubes taste one dimensional.
Oak cubes also release their flavor into your beer more slowly than chips, giving you more control over the final degree of impact in your beer. You should plan on an extended aging period of 1-6 months when using cubes. This longer contact time again promotes flavor complexity by allowing all the flavors of the oak and your beer to marry.
Recommended Dosage is 2 oz per 5 gallons for impact equivalent to aging in a brand new oak barrel.

Please note: Honey that gets cold often becomes crystalized but this has no detrimental effect on the overall quality. It can still be used in its crystalized form or returned to liquid by gently heating it back up in a warm water bath.
Convection toasted Oak Cubes made in the US from American Oak.
These Oak Cubes impart similar flavors as the equivalent oak type and toast level chip, but extract more slowly giving you more control over the final impact in your beer.
These cubes are produced from staves of American oak that have been air-seasoned for 18-24 months, then toasted to a Medium Toast. They will add a sweet, butterscotch note with a hint of bourbon char to your beer.
Suggested dosage is 2-4 oz per 5 gallons of beer.

Oak Chips are a fast and economical way to add oak barrel flavor to any beer.
Oak Chips are made from seasoned American and French Oak staves which are chipped down and toasted to create flavors similar to what you'd get from a barrel.
The available toast levels are Medium, Medium +, and Heavy. It's important to understand that each toasting level creates different flavors in the oak; not a greater intensity of impact in your beer. Don't think of them as weak, normal & strong; they're each a different flavor profile.
These staves for these Medium Toast French Oak chips are sourced from a cooper (barrel maker) in Napa, CA. They deliver clove and spice flavors of medium intensity, along with strong flavors of Butterscotch & perceived sweetness.
Because of the high surface area, oak chips can extract quickly and care should be taken not to overdo it. Taste your beer frequently after the first week of contact and be ready to rack off the oak chips.
Suggested Dosage is 1-2 oz per 5 gallons.
This 100% pure brown rice syrup provides proteins and amino acids necessary for yeast nutrition, head retention and body along with color and flavor. Because it is filtered, Clarified Brown Rice Syrup produces a very clear, finished beer without great difficulty or product loss often experienced when trying to filter out insoluble (but colloidal suspended) protein.

Oak Chips are a fast and economical way to add oak barrel flavor to any beer.
Oak Chips are made from seasoned American and French Oak staves which are chipped down and convection-toasted to create flavors similar to what a comparably toasted barrel would impart. The available toast levels are Medium, Medium +, and Heavy.
It's important to understand that each toasting level creates different flavors in the oak; not a greater intensity of impact in your beer. Don't think of them as weak, normal & strong; they're each a different flavor profile.
Heavy Toast American Oak chips will impart strong flavors of Vanilla & Char, with a small note of Clove. These chips will not impart the coconut flavor often characteristic of lower toast American oaks.
Because of the high surface area, oak chips can extract quickly and care should be taken not to overdo it. Taste your beer frequently after the first week of contact and be ready to rack off the oak chips.
Suggested Dosage is 1-2 oz per 5 gallons.
Use this soft candi sugar in all of your Belgian beers to impart a wonderfully soft and well-rounded flavor that you have never had in your beers before! A by-product of the rock candi and candi syrup making processes, soft sugar is made up of tiny crystals of beet sugar that have been removed from the syrup by way of a centrifuge. These crystals have a more intense flavor than the traditional sugar rocks American brewers are used to seeing. Use this sugar as a direct replacement for those out-dated rocks! This is the same candi sugar used by the famous Rochefort brewery in Belgium.

Cubes have a longer contact time than traditional chips do, which make them better for long-term aging of wines and beers. Also, longer contact time means longer extraction of flavors (3-6 months), which leads to a more complex combination of flavors. Chips are usually done giving flavor after a week, there by contributing a harsh, flat oak flavor.
Our cubes are fires toasted and cut by Stavin, a leading supplier of high-quality oak alternatives to top commercial wineries.
