When is the best time to add dextrose to the kettle? Does it matter? i am currently adding at the beginning of the boil for a lighter ale, would it be better to wait till 20 mins tol the end or not? I add all the hops at 20 min till the end to maximize flavor on a very low IBU beer, so i dont know if it affects utilization since the sugar will be in no matter what.

I wouldn't think it would matter too much, depending on the percentage of total sugars the dextrose made up. If it was > 20%, my thought would be to add it earlier in the process, so your IBU calc wouldn't be thrown off. I could be wrong.
