Forgot to add my maltodextrin at boil

[Tonyctitan]

Just like the title says. Should I just boil it in a couple cups of water and add it to the fermenter?

Whats the recipe? Info helps....cause it might not make a difference to the final product.

It's a brewers best Irish stout. I added all the lme and dme. I'm just boiling the malto and adding it to the wart when it cools.

I usually don't forget things like that, it was the second batch I brewed today and I thought it was just a bag of priming sugar... Oops.

In a n00b so best checking what I say first but if it is still in primary won't it be ok to add it as long as you don't oxygenate the wort?

 

[Tonyctitan]

The yeast aren't active yet so it won't oxidize. Right now oxygen is good until the yeast become active.

Just be sure to let it cool to the current temp inside the fermenter. You don't wanna shock the yeast with sudden temp changes. And since maltodextrin is only 5% fermentable at most,it just adds body & a lil creaminess.
