everything is expensive at a drug store. I've only seen regular sugar at food stores.

you can make it out of maltose

why do you need it? and how much?

Heath food store, probably. Might be expensive though.

i have been seeing quite a bit of interest about adding 2 oz. of glucose to 750ltr of spirit can really smooth out the product...have you ever tried this ???
thanks scott

Well not related to anyting, but.
The human body can process glucose via every cell in the body. where we can only convert Fructose via the liver. heheh sucrose is 50/50 glucose/fructose, and High fructose corn syrup is Chemicly broke down and built back up to contain more fructuse then glucose, And belive it or not, it is FAR FAR cheeper to break down sucrose and chemical alter it and bring it back up containing higher fructose levels then it is to just have plain sugar... hehe i'm sure CHemist or someone else here knows more about it..
I'm only saying this becuase I would love to have all glucose sweeteners like Some countrys around the world.
