Priming Bottles

[Brewme]

Would dextrose be better to prime bottles rather than sugar?

I only fill 6 750ml bottles each brew as the rest goes into the keg. (total 23 litres)

Cheers,

Either or. I would assume dextrose would be cleaner but I don't think you would notice any difference in flavour?

Personally I don't think it matters that much with such small amounts. I tend to use dextrose just because that's how I trained my brain when I first started brewing so if it's easy enough use that.

You can use malt, honey, dex, table sugar, fermenting beer and a whole range of things really.

I am interested in exploring traditional methods of krausening (adding fermenting beer) one day just because traditions interest me - my feeling is it will just make the beer fizzy like all the others.

Better? Prolly not. The same result, yes, more expensive, yes. Keep using sugar
