Are Glucose Chips still used in the UK?
Here's a rave from the grave.
When I brewed in the UK as a youngster, glucose chips were a popular additive when doing extract brews. They were little flakes of toffee tasting glucose about the texture of fudge and actually made a nice nibble and just the job to replace white sugar for a smoother more sophisticated beer. We don't get them in Australia but I wonder if they are still available - could be a useful item. We import huge quantities of stuff like Thomas Fawcetts Floor Malts etc etc so the actual logistics of sending them overseas shouldn't be a problem.

I used to use glucose chips many moons ago but I haven't seen them for ages. I think powdered glucose is available though.
