Would failing to add lactose to a sweet stout mess with my FG?
I input a recipe into brewer's friend and came up with a target OG of 1.055 (I hit 1.053) and a target FG of 1.015. Took my FG reading today after 18 days of fermentation and I'm at 1.021. I forgot to add the Lactose to this recipe, so basically the stout I'm making won't be sweet. I'm curious though if this is going to mess with my FG? I'm obviously not getting good attenuation here and I'm wondering why. Thanks!
