If a brew ferments out a little more than wanted. Say 1006 when the target was 1012 could Maltro Dextrin be added alon with DME at bottling time to pull it back a bit? Would the Maltro Dextrin add anything to the Carbonation?

So do you reckon I can add some at bottling time?
Malto-dextrin adds mouthfeel without any residual sweetness, but, respectfully, there's only one person who would recommend it be added at bottling time.Nwcw2001 said:Quick question for those of us that aren't quite learn-ed.
wont adding that at bottling time make it a sweeter beer?
Johnwongfat said:I added my maltodextrin really late in the boil (about 15 minutes left) and it seems to have boosted my FG. My hydrometer says that it's at about 1.030, but it sure doesn't taste that sweet. I put up an earlier post about this and someone said that it is because the MD throws off the gravity reading, and some people suggest adding it at bottling. Anyone else had it throw off a gravity reading?

Anyone have a source for this info?
But MD doesn't add sweetness...so why would you do that?Denny's Brew said:I have. Heard it suggested to raise the sweetness up a bit, kinda like lactose.

orfy said:Superb thanks.
It's the 3rd time in 2 months. The wife loved Venice at christmas. I think she liked the shopping.
Pizza for Christmas Lunch was diffferent. (Made up for it in the evening with a Posh meal on the Grand Canal) The Orchestra in a church on Chrismas Day was also nice.
Denny's Brew said:usmcruz got banned then he came back on a diff IP using a not so nice username and spammed nearly every recent thread. Obviously admin erased his posts. He was on here only a few minutes ago.
I think so. The wife and I have both been, but pre-us...occasionally creates a little friction that we need to smooth out with some Venetian wine and orrechiette.orfy said:Bee-Gee.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Well I think that maybe one or two people might possibly been baiting usmc just a little bit...just to see if he'd meltdown or not. Unfortunately he went off a bit quicker than anyone thought, and everyone missed all the fun.catfish said:This has got to be the longest thread about bottling with malto dexatrin.
