I have a porter recipe that I plan on brewing here real soon. The recipe calls for 8oz of maltodextrin. What is this? And is it necessary? Will a batch suffer if its not used?
 
Back when I first started I forgot to add the MD to a batch of creme stout. It tasted great, but it was watery and has no mouth feel.

If you brew a lot check out your local grocery/health/fitness food store. At HEB (grocery store) I got 5 lbs of maltodextrin for maybe $7. Its a complex carb that makes any beer you brew with it a good exercise recovery drink!
