when to add Malto Dextrin?

[sugarbass]

Planning a mini mash "blonde ale" and considering adding maltose dextrin for body ...? When do I add it in the boil?

Put it in during the last ten minutes or so.

Or add with priming sugar when bottling if you still think it needs it.

I prefer to stir maltodextrin in the last 5 minutes or so of the boil. It is,after all,up to 5% fermentable. So adding it with priming sugar might drive the carbonation up a bit high. Best to let that little bit ferment out in primary,says I.

Good point.
