Ferments faster reducing the risk of "off" flavours. Gives beer a cleaner and drier finish. Dextrose also tends to create less sediment. Remember though, always use normal household sugar when bottling your beer. Maltodextrin Made from wheat starch. Add 250-500g to improve body, mouthfeel and head retantion in kit beers without unduly altering flavour. If using 500g a final gravity up to 1012 can be expected. Malt Malt is the prime ingredient of beer. The addition of malt to your brew will give better flavour. It will also add more body and improve head retention 250g or more will greatly enhance kit beers. If using 500g in a brew a final gravity of around 1010 can be expected.  Malt should be used instead of brewing sugar and we recommend you don't use in excess of 1.5kgs.
