Adding extra dextrose at day 7

[Rocker1986]

Not entirely because DME ferments out for the most part. There is a portion of unfermentable sugar in it, but it's not a whole lot, maybe 20%.

No worries.
Thanks for all your replies, really appreciated! When I get home I'll have a looks see and see what's happening numbers wise and go from there.

Cheers

Ahh, Got it...I think. So the maltodextrine being unfermentable, will literally just stay suspended in the liquid making it thicker, for want of a better word and therefore the hydrometer will sit higher. Wouldn't that be the same for the DME that I put in as well?
Cheers
