Is it a syrup or a powder?
A powder. The name comes from what it is made from. It dissolves to a clear liquid in the brew.
What does maltodextrin do in beer?
It adds body and helps the head hold, without adding sweetness or flavour. Yeast can't ferment it, so it stays in the finished beer as mouthfeel. It is the fix for a kit beer that tastes thin or goes flat in the glass.
How much do I use?
200 to 300g in a 21 litre batch for lagers, and 300 to 500g for ales and stouts, where a fuller body suits the style. Dissolve it in the hot water with the kit.
Will it make the beer sweeter?
No. Maltodextrin is almost tasteless. If you want sweetness, that is lactose or a sweeter malt extract. Maltodextrin only changes the weight of the beer in your mouth.
What does DE 18 to 20 mean?
DE is dextrose equivalent, a measure of how far the starch has been broken down. DE 18 to 20 is the brewing grade: low enough that the yeast leaves it alone, so all of it goes into body.
