I recently brewed a no boil farmhouse ale with homegrown wet hops using Jovaru. Recipe Link It just finished primary fermentation and it needs to be carbonated. I just ran out of CO2 and haven't had time to pick up new CO2. I have both DME and Maltodextrin on hand. The beer turned out to be slightly lower in gravity than planned (1.004 vs 1.008). I am considering carbing with a mixture of maltodextrin and DME. My thinking is that the maltodextrin will add back a little bit of the body while still being convertible because Jovaru is Diastatic. Maybe my thinking is wrong because it is diastatic the yeast will convert it and I will lose any potential body anyways.
Anyone out there have experience with priming with Maltodextrin with a Diastatic yeast? Bad idea?
