Anyone know if it's available in town somewhere?

Re: Maltodextrin
That's something I haven't seen. What are you using it for...?

Re: Maltodextrin
Some homebrew sites stock it but I still haven't found it locally. I'm using it to give some extra food for brett/lacto/pedio. It's essentially unfermentable by saccharomyces, so I'm hoping to get a little more sourness/funk from it.

Ah yes, I recall reading that some guys were doing that. I should try to rack off a sample of one of my lambics for next Friday, let you taste a version with no MD.

Re: Maltodextrin
That would be great, I'd love a sample. I don't have a lot of experience with brewing funky stuff myself, but I know a common complaint amongst homebrewers is not being able to get enough character/complexity/sourness in their attempts.mr x wrote:Ah yes, I recall reading that some guys were doing that.

Thanks for the heads up on the brew shop moxie. I honestly didn't expect them to have it, as my experience with them has been that they mostly cater to the easy bake oven side of things

Re: Maltodextrin
In my experience about the only places that ever carry it are the brewshops where they have no clue wtf they are doing or selling!BBrianBoogie wrote:That would be great, I'd love a sample.
