I'm comparing the nutritional panel on the back of a bag of a brew enhancer (dext, malt, malto) and dextrose. Maltodextrin doesn't ferment, so....

Whilst the energy values are similar = 1580kJ and carbs are similar at 91g, the total sugars vary. Dextrose is 91g, which I take to be 91% fermentable. The brew enhancer is about 60g sugars.

Am I right to say that only the sugars will ferment out? That is 40% will be maltodextrin?
