I am trying to make a Rickards Red clone and the recipe calls for 1.2 kg hi-malt glucose, there are 6 different brew shops in town and nobody carries it.

Any suggestions on a workaround?

Here is the recipe that I wanted to use:

Ingredients

1.9 kg Brew Canada Red Beer Kit
1.2 kg hi-malt glucose
500 g light dry malt extract
28g Cascade hops @ 9% a.a
23 litres water

Here's a picture from some Hi malt glucose. As far as the ingredients it's more LME and dextrose than anything else. I'd just add .8 kg LME and .4 Kg dextrose (corn sugar) since the malt extract is obviously the most abundant ingredient. Maltotriose is a complex sugar that's in LME.

It may not be exactly the same but it will probably be close. As far as the type of LME (light, amber) I don't know what 1.9kg Brew canada red beer kit is but light would be fine as long as that part of the kit provides the color.
