7.0°LProximity ReGenMalt Body Builder is a dextrin-style malt (like Carapils) built to add body, mouthfeel, and head retention without loading your beer down with flavor or sweetness. It’s the go-to move when your beer feels thin or the head fades too fast — especially in hazy IPAs, pale lagers, or any session-style beer where you want more substance without extra color or caramel notes.
Flavor/Aroma
- Clean, subtle malt character
- Very low flavor impact at normal rates
- Slight malt sweetness when pushed harder
Beer Interplay
- Increases body and mouthfeel through unfermentable dextrins
- Improves head retention and foam stability
- Adds a touch of color (around 8 SRM) — more than classic Carapils-style malts
Practical Usage
Use Proximity Body Builder at 2–5% of the grist when you need to round out a beer that’s coming across thin or when you’re using a lot of adjuncts. It’s especially useful in hazy IPAs and light lagers where you want more body and better head without pushing color or flavor too far. A little goes a long way — start low and adjust on the next batch.
