Maltodextrin
Postby notwal » Sat Jan 07, 2012 8:10 pm
I found some brewer's sugar at Woolies. It has maltodextrin in it but they don't say how much.

I've used them before and their stuff is good, minus the fancy packaging with the exaggerated claims.

I have most of a large box left I bought about 4 mths ago from Ada Street.
It's packaged in sealed 500g plastic bags, and am happy to sell you 1 or several if you don't want a lot. I paid around $12 /kg.
I looked far and wide and never found pure maltodextrin from supermarkets, pharmacies, health food shops or home brew shops.
Had to go online or to a supplement retailer.
I messed around making my own gels, but eventually realized it's less hassle to buy 120ml flasks and stick cordial, salts, and maltodextrin in. No need to brew it up into a gel.

That's basically what I do, but chuck each into the water of the bidon.PawPaw wrote:

The local home brew shop sells bags of dried corn syrup labelled as 'brew improver' ... 2 kg for $20 IIRC. Beats $3 for about 20g in a commercial gel.
Maltodextrin gives beers and stouts a creamier texture, apparently.

Its typically marketed as "pure carbs", look at the label & it'll be high carbs & low sugars

Brisbane - Craftbrewer (don't have it on website, but should have it in store)
Melbourne - Grain and Grape (don't have it on website, but should have it in store)
Adelaide - Beer Belly (have it for $6.50/kg)
Perth - Gryphon Brewing (don't have it on website, but should have it in store)
There's many more different stores, but they are the main ones that I know of.

Thanks for the tip PawPaw. I dropped in to Ada St. It's pretty handy. I bought some maltodextrin and some Arginine from them on the strength of a trial I read about a while ago.PawPaw wrote:Have bought online from several suppliers and walk in from Ada Street, Taringa.

Fuel. It's starch - relatively low GI sugar. I put it in my biddens for rides over 50 km along with other stuff.Addictr3 wrote:how come you want it?

Yep, high GI Gatorade style powder and low GI maltodextrin give your bidon most of what a gel will.notwal wrote:Fuel. It's starch - relatively low GI sugar. I put it in my biddens for rides over 50 km along with other stuff.Addictr3 wrote:how come you want it?

Stephen from Professional Whey is where I get all my supplements for riding and when i was doing serious gym work - simple, pure, no artifical junk and good value.
He will even answer the phone and have a chat about supplements if you call him up - so not just a faceless online shop.

When I researched this and spoke to several local home brew shops, I was told there is a difference between corn syrup and maltodextrin.Bentnose wrote:Any homebrew shop will have maltodextrin, also known as corn syrup, I use it all the time for my home brew.
The former has shorter dextrose chains with a dextrose equivalent of >= 20 DE.
The latter has longer chains with DE between 5 and 20. These are absorbed more slowly by the gut than the shorter corn syrup chains, which is the only reason to take maltodetrin.
None of the home brew shops had 100% pure maltodextrin. They all had shorter chain sugars added.

Interesting, it may be 100% maltodextrin though, just not the sort your after, it looks like you can get maltodextrin from other things besides corn, it just so happens home brew uses a corn based maltodextrin. I used to use Maxim energy powder that claims to be 96% maltodextrin.PawPaw wrote:When I researched this and spoke to several local home brew shops, I was told there is a difference between corn syrup and maltodextrin.Bentnose wrote:Any homebrew shop will have maltodextrin, also known as corn syrup, I use it all the time for my home brew.

Just wondering how much you put in ??? The Gatorate poweder is usually about 2 scoops per biddon, Do you replace 1 scoop with maltodextrin or add 2 scoops ontop of the gatorade ????clackers wrote:Yep, high GI Gatorade style powder and low GI maltodextrin give your bidon most of what a gel will.notwal wrote:Fuel.
