Build fuller body and a smoother mouthfeel in your beer with Maltodextrin, a mostly non-fermentable brewing additive that enhances texture and head retention without adding sweetness or color. This corn-derived powder is ideal for improving balance in light-bodied beers, stouts, and lactose-free recipes where added creaminess is desired. Maltodextrin is intended for brewers looking to increase body and mouthfeel while maintaining a dry flavor profile. Because it is largely non-fermentable, it remains in the finished beer, helping create a richer texture and more stable foam without impacting fermentation performance. This brewing additive is made from corn-derived maltodextrin and is available in 1.6 ounce, 8 ounce, and 1 pound package sizes to support a range of batch volumes. A typical usage rate is approximately 1.6 ounces per gallon, though amounts may be adjusted based on beer style and desired mouthfeel. For best results, dissolve maltodextrin in hot wort during the boil to ensure even distribution. It can be used in a wide variety of beer styles, including light ales, stouts, and lactose-free formulations, without affecting color or sweetness. Prepared to dependable quality standards, Maltodextrin provides a simple, reliable way to enhance body, foam stability, and mouthfeel in homebrewed beer while preserving clean, balanced flavor.
