So I had a thought of a child hood memory or those delicious orange creamsicles. I loved those things and was thinking a nice light ale based on that would be delicious. So this is what ive come up with. Havent worked with lactose before so suggestions on when to add it and how much would be great.

12.0 oz Milk Sugar (Lactose) (0.0 SRM) Sugar 10 9.1 %
1.00 oz Vanilla Extract Powder (Bottling 0.0 min Flavor 11 -
From what ive read looks like adding the lactose at the end of the boil is common or adding it at bottling/kegging. The estimated FG seems low considering lactose isnt suppose to ferment but well see.
I choose the hops for citrus characteristics in aroma to bring out the orange flavor, and only add a little bitter by adding it late in the boil.
Any Suggestions?
