I'm brewing a porter today and wanted to add maltodextrin but my LHBS doesn't keep a supply of the stuff and I was wondering what I can use as a substitute. Possibly: LME, Molasses, Maple Syrup, etc. I've never used maltodextrin before in a beer so I have no idea. However, I've taken a gal. of 1st runnings of a stout, boiled it down for an hour and a half to get a syrup and added it to the last 20 mins. of the boil before. Came out great. Should I just do this with my porter?
