weggl Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 How do you reckon lactose would go in the "Stouter Stout". Paul might know, if so how much to 18L?[[roll] Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I just used 500g Lactose in my Grand Final stout. It sweetens and thickens it up without adding to the alc volume. I have used it alot in my milk stouts over the years, got to say i love the stuff, especially if am doing a toucan original stout and i need to unbitter it a bit. Start with 300g and see what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks Tony, Can you put it in the bottling vat ? I know it must be boiled in water first. Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 If your boiling up a DME or LME you could add after flameout. I just add it to my hot/warm water and stir it in after my cans of Kit like i would dex or DME if i was adding it to a kit and kilo. I have never pre boiled it, mix it up with your dex if your using it in a bit of warm water if you like but i dont bother. Some boil it for 15minutes they say the are sterilizing it, i have never had a batch go off doing it the way i do it. Lactose throws your gravity up by up to 10points so dont forget to subtract this in your OG and FG reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
