OG - 1.052

Will Brett and Pedio eat Lactose?

Will Brett and Pedio eat lactose like they'll eat maltodextrine? I usually add some maltodextrin to sour batches, and am wondering if I can use lactose as well.

Thanks.

The oxygen point makes sense. As for “seeds and fruit particles”, I guess I should have said that I'll be adding puree (that came with the kits).
