Foaming adding dextrose

[thrums1]

I just fermented some Festival Weiss beer . I racked this to another bucket it when I added the dextrose for Secondary fermentation It immediately foamed up.

I am am not sure if this is normal? It didn’t do it with same kit last time.

Any advice please?

The grains of the dextrose a very small and numerous and they act as seeds for CO bubbles to form around, hence the foam.

Thank you. That is interesting.

What led zep said. I use dextrose as priming sugar and it normally does this to a greater or lesser extent

I found this and since I started dissolving the dextrose in a little water before dumping it in I don't get the foam. Not sure if its a good thing or not.
