I racked my blueberry ale over to tertiary a few days ago and I just checked it today. It fermented from 1.043 all the way down to 1.004 :( It's got a nice blueberry taste to it, but it has no body at all. Will adding lactose (I can't think of anything else at this point) give it a little body, being that it's non-fermentable?
 
Thanks bird, I'm actually pretty happy with the sweetness, so I think I'll go with maltodextrine, any suggestion how much?

EDIT: I've also been looking around online for dextrin malt extract, does anyone know anywhere that sells it, I don't think my LHBS does.
