potential maltodextrin source

Let me know thanks

I'm working with Honeyville on potential sourcing of agglomerated malto. Will update when I have an answer as to best way to order it from them.

Cheers,

Bill

I would be interested as well.

Hi John,

Shoot me a pm with your email address and I'll loop you in to the process.

Cheers,

I'd call around the local and Internet home brew stores and see if any carry the agglomerated before ordering a huge sack. All homebrew shops will have maltodextrin and sell it by weight. Williams, more beer, rebel, northern etc should all have the connections to order you a full sack if they don't stock what you want

I've called 3 or 4 local brewing supply places in the San Francisco bay area, none of them have even heard of agglomerated maltodextrin. They do seem to carry the standard powdered maltodextrin but it sounds like that's not what we want. One of them told me they have M100 from GPC, the others did not know what it was called but said it was very powdery.

You definitely want agglomerated. That stuff mixes so much better than the powdered maltodextrin that you won't believe it. I mix about 500 calories in 20oz at a time and it still looks and tastes just like regular water. Never going back.

What's the per pound price the market support for agglomerated ? Corn or tapioca ?

I got a response from Honeyville in SoCal. They will sell a 50 lb bag of agglomerated M500 Maltodextrin for about $50 with local pickup. Not sure what the shipping charge would be but probably a lot. I'm in Northern California but may be able to get a friend to pick it up for me and bring it up. If anyone wants to go in on a bag with me let me know.
