2kg Lactose

[BeerCat]

I just ordered some of this in case anyone is looking for. > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LACTOSE-P...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Cheapest i could find on ebay at £16.83 for 2kgs.

I just add it to my grain orders when I need it, most places it's about £3.50 for 500g. Do you have a lot of milk stouts planned?

 

[BeerCat]

Planning one yes depending on how sweet the next one turns out. And a white stout and milkshake IPA. I have never added it post fermentation as yet so planning on splitting some batches to experiment on.

How much lactose does your average milk stout take?

 

[Brewed_Force]

If memory serves...I used 500g in a 22L milk stout

when does everyone add the lactose, im planning on a chocolate porter using powder and nibs (along with pale chocolate malt), but seeing mixed views on when to add the stuff. its either near end of boil or secondary (in my case it would be primary), or in one beer thread it was at bottling time along with priming/sugar? last thing id want is a sweet beer, in which case is it best to have an IBU of around 40-50 to balance it out?

cheers Chub1!

I am adding it in secondary with some cocoa powder. If I use too much I can mix it with the dry stuff.

Good man,do as you are told:grin::grin:

So how much would 500g add to a 5% beer, say 20l batch?
