new to bottling

I have been brewing for about a year, have been kegging everything, now i have bottled my first batch, used dextrose to carbonate in bottles,, everything is fine except the beer is a bit sweeter tasting. Is there anything i can do to have it come out not so sweet? Maybe a diffrent Yeast? TIA

everything, now

How long has the beer been in bottles? It might be that the yeast hasn't had enough time to ferment all the priming sugar. Wait for a week and taste again after that, and remember to keep the bottles in a temperature where the

yeast can work (not too cold).

That's probably the reason then. My last batch actually took three weeks to carbonate. I tasted it for the first time after two weeks but it was sweet and not fully carbonated. So I left it for another week, and after that it tasted just as it was supposed to.
