If a recipe says sucrose or dextrose in the grail bill what does that mean?

[linusstick]

I've added sugar to the boil but never to the mash. There's no instructions in the recipe. It lists the grain bill as 12.25lbs 2 row, 1lb caravienne and .66lb sucrose or dextrose. Thoughts?

Add it to the boil. Your choice whether you add it at the beginning or the end.

I'm not sure that it really matters, I believe it will all get into the wort. But usually you add sugars to the boil.

Sucrose = table sugar/dextrose = corn sugar
Such additions are best done at flame-out to avoid scorching...

Cheers!

I would add it to the boil. I don't see any benefit to adding it to the mash. Regardless of your sparge techniques efficiency, you will lose some in the mash. Like extract, I would add it towards the end of the boil, or at flameout.
