Lactose Powder
Supplier:
Kent Foods Limited
Description
Lactose is an off-white solid sugar or syrup that adds no colour to beers. It is also unfermentable by most brewing yeasts and is added by traditionalists trying to emulate milk stouts. Most brewing yeasts are unable to ferment lactose so when added as a priming sugar, it can only contribute this sweetness.
Application and Rates of Use Lactose is used as a priming sugar and the dosage rates are in the range of 1 to 2 kg per hectolitre of finished beer. The rates can be found by dosing small amounts and tasting the beer, stopping when the desired profile is reached. To raise the gravity by 1°, 285g per hl of beer should be added. It is best added to the copper for the sterilisation affect.
