So, after watching Brew Dogs, and growing up on a diary farm, I'm stuck on the thought of making Lactose from milk.
I was told this might be a good forum to ask.
I've spent all morning searching, and everything I've found has been on using Lactose in beer, and not how to make it. Has anyone done this? How difficult or dangerous is it?
After rewatching the Brew Dogs episode, it looks like its pretty easy, and not super dangerous (although played up to be like Breaking Bad)
From what I watched, the way to make Lactose is :
1) Heat Milk to 40 deg Celsius
2) 6 mLs of 10% Acetic Acid 10%
3) Stir
4) Filter to remove Casein and collect liquid filtrate
5) Push moisture out
6) Heat liquid to almost boil
7) 2 ½ grams of powder calcium carbonate to precipitate the rest of the unwanted proteins
8) 50 mLs of grain ethanol 190 proof
9) Heat til 70 degrees Celsius
10) Filter and wait for crystals to form
Just looking to see if this is a stupid idea, or if it can be done.
*sorry if this is the wrong forum.
