I have searched the forums and lactose brings up many results. I could not read them all and many pertained to additions in stouts. I am brewing outside the box today and my question is, "how much is too much" since I have never used lactose sugar before. Going to brew up a 5 gal batch of a Milk IPA along the same profile as FFF Apocalypse Cow, which I have yet to taste. Judging from the reviews on BA and the opinion of a friend, I am flying blind but am confident. Not looking to replicate their beer, just experimenting. I included the recipe if curious. If anyone has experience with lactose, please advise on recommended amount.
