Hi all,

I'm brewing an Orval-style beer (Jamil's recipe for Belgian Specialty) and this is my first Brett beer. The pre-brett beer finished dryer than expected at 1.006. I was expecting something more like 1.011.

What effect will the Brett have in a beer with so little starch left to work on? I know Orval is a pretty dry beer, but what's too dry? I can only imagine where I'll land after the brett does whatever it can.

Anyone have any insight? Is it worth adding a little maltodextrin? I just added the brett today.

Thanks in advance.
