lactose

How would i go about adding lactose to a milk stout anyone know the quantities for 25 litres

I added 400g to my chocolate stout. If I remember correctly I mixed it with a little water and added it in the last 5 minutes.

thanks where do you get lactose from ?

Thanks i never thought of Rob

I have just started drinking my first milk stout. Recipe called for 300g of lactose but 'add more if you want a sweeter beer'. I added 500g, it is very nice but I would add a little less next time, I suggest 400g.

thanks ill go with 400g in a 25 l beer

It's perhaps not ideal (introduction of dissolved oxygen), but I've seen people boil it up and add to the FV. That way it gives you the flexibility of altering the dosage based on the FG etc.

good idea

I got mine from www.thehomebrewshop.co.uk

you go, Whitbread added lactose to their Mackeson post fermentation.
