I'm going to be brewing the Oatmeal Stout kit from Midwest and I was going to add some lactose at the end of the boil to make it more of an Oatmilk Stout. I'm curious as to how much lactose I should add, I've heard 1/2 lb as well as a full pound. Just wanted to get a general consensus. Thanks,
 
Adding lactose will make it sweet.

Adding 1 lb of lactose will increase the Final Gravity by .007 in a 5 gallon batch.

Figure out how sweet you want it, or what FG you want it to end at.
