Anybody know any "local" sources for this? HBS isn't so local and I'd rather not pay $7 shipping for a $1 item.
The guy at the beer store mentioned bicyclist buy him out of it during the summer, so I thought maybe GNC, but they looked at me like I asked for crack.
Green-mart knew of it, but doesn't carry it here... Any ideas?

Well, a deli in the gas station carries some here. I have no idea why, but I buy it for $.99/pound there.

Otherwise, maybe a specialty flour/bakery/health food store might.

bodybuilders use them too. Check out health food stores.

And, apparently Smarties candies contain mostly dextrose and maltodextrin.

If it's for priming I'd say prime your next batch with table sugar (using about 5% less). See how you like it. I can't tell the difference, other than table sugar is easier to work with IMO.

I do keep dextrose on hand for other purposes (apfelwein) but I don't go through it like I used to.

Check bigger grocery stores. I bought a bag of sugar that was just pure dextrose by accident once. I think it was in a pink and white bag.
