A friend of mine recently gave me a large bag of dextrose (not maltodextrin just so there is no confusion), am i correct in thinking that this is as fermentable as sugar? or would you use slightly more/less for priming bottles etc?
Thanks.

Re: Dextrose
You need about 10% more dextrose by weight than cane sugar (sucrose) to achieve the same volume of CO2. If you are using a priming calculator, dextrose is often listed as corn sugar.
