not sure if the strange taste is caused by the maltodextrin or not but I
cannot understand why you would prime with it as it isn't highly fermentable
like dextrose or glucose. My understanding of bottle priming is that the
added sugar is purely for carbonation and has nothing to do with taste or
the body of the beer. IMHO in future I'd go with glucose ie table sugar for
priming
