Hi guys,
I'm planning a small batch of ginger beer (around 10l). I want to use a box of "brew enhancer 1" that I have sitting around because it has maltodextrin in it and might stop it drying out too much. The problem I am having with the Beersmith app is that malto-dextrine (assuming it's the same thing) doesn't seem to affect the SG - therefore I have no idea what FG to expect. I don't want a bone dry ginger beer, but I want to drink it, not chew it too.
I'm planning on using:
300 g brown sugar
UP TO one box of BE1 (60:40 dextrose:maltodextrin)
500g raw ginger (grated)
1tsp of vanilla extract.
US05 for the yeast.
I'll probably throw in a couple of lemons and or limes, plus some cinnamon and possibly even star anise too.
Beersmith mobile gives me 1.035 SG and a projected FG of 0.992, but that doesn't change when I alter the malto-dextrine amounts.
Any suggestions?
Edit: ingredients.
