Will using maltodextrin help me with this issue?

[nhindian]

I brewed a pumpkin ale that I added rum and oak cubes to when I transferred it to secondary. On Wednesday it hit 2 weeks in secondary and I gave it my first try to see how it was coming along. I noticed it was a little thin and dry. I added about 16oz of rum so I think that may have been a contributing factor to this feeling.

If I add maltodextrin at bottling, will that help the body at all? How much would you recommend? Thanks!

Yes, it will help with body and mouthfeel. Boil 4 oz in 16 oz of water. Add at bottling or kegging.

IMO you can use about an oz per gallon, definitely boil to dissolve and cool or it will just clump up!
