So I had a customer come into my store today and he had his recipe in hand that he got off the net. It is a stout of some kind using a bunch of lactose 2 1/4# of the stuff in a 5 gallon batch to be exact and an irish ale yeast. I have never seen a recipe call for that much lactose in a 5 gallon batch. He bought it anyway and out the door he went. I am building him a false bottom so I will see him again before he brews his beer. Wondering if anyone can shed some light for me on that much lactose in a beer?
