Hey, probably a stupid question, and I think I know the answer, but want to check with some folks.
So, does it?

Does lactose add gravity points?

Yes, it's a sugar... however, those gravity points will not come back down since it is not a fermentable sugar. That sweetness will stay in your beer.

That would be an interesting question for the Wyeast guy.

I guess you could drop a Lactaid pill in there, but what's the point...

Just curious, cause I added a bit to a stout of mine and the final gravity seemed a few points high.
Lactose will add points to the OG and a nearly equal number of points to the FG. I think the amount of points is the same as white sugar of the same quantity. Maltodextrin has a similar result but with less sweetness.seefresh said:
