Personally, I'd omit the lactose. Adding maize and then lactose kind of cancel each other out.

Are you looking for a sweeter beer? If so, keep the lactose, but it seems out of place - especially in a British-style ale like the rest of your grain bill points to.

Thanks so I remove the Lactose then.
