I just finished up making a milk stout -with malt extract recipe- and the recipe called for 1lb lactose powder to be added to the brewpot.
Now when I took my initial pre-fermentation gravity reading I got 1.09....
Does this mean I'll have a stout that is very high in alcohol content? Or is the lactose inflating my gravity reading?
Do I have to be worried about my the lid blowing off my fermenter (something I heard is prone to happen with high gravity beers)?
Please help!
