Hey guys,
I have a stout recipe that calls for the addition of malto-dextrin. I've never used it before and not sure when it needs to be added? I don't even know if this is a powder or a liquid?
I've gathered that it's used to add some body to the beer - I was going to use 0.25lb of it for a 5 gallon batch that has the following:
dark liquid extract - 6lb 8 oz
2 row caramel 120 - 1 lb
black malt - 4 oz
roasted barley 4 oz
chocolate malt - 1lb
