Maltodextrin (4 oz)
AD390
Good for adding mouth feel and body to extract brews without affecting flavor. Maltodextrin is added to the wort at the same time as the extracts. Maltodextrin is a chain between 4 and 20 dextrose units in length making it only 3% fermentable by brewer's yeast. It is naturally present in finished beers, up to 6% by weight. Our maltodextrin is composed of .5% dextrose, 2.5% Maltose, 3.5% maltoriose and 93.5% higher saccaharides. It is also available by the pound or even the sack. Since maltodextrins are easily digestible carbohydrates, some long range bicyclists mix maltodextrins with water as an energy source. After we learned that little fact, some of us cyclists here at Beer, Beer & More Beer are now filling are water bladders with beer. (kidding)
