I just used a 1lb bag of lactose when I brewed up my 5gallons of it. Still in primary though so can't comment as to an acidic taste as of yet.Philistine said:I'm getting ready to try a 5 gallon batch of this. I'm basically multiplying the 1 gallon recipe's ingredients by 5. When I was at my LHBS one of the employees there was concerned that 20 oz of lactose was going to be too much and may impart an acidic taste. He suggested substituting some or most of the lactose with powered milk. It sounds reasonable, I'm just wondering what everyone else thinks?
Pasteurizing question: alright first time doing this my question is do the bottles have to be fully submerged or as long as it's 3/4 covered its good?
I did a 5 gallon all grain batch1fast636 said:Has anyone done the all grain version for this if so how did it turn out and do you have a recipe, and has any one had one from a five gallon batch with extract if so what was your recipe for that. Want to do 5 gals but trying to decide on all grain version or just doing the extract

Just started this brew and it's my first brew ever, so wish me luck. I like the sound of the float flavor/mouthfeel so I added a bit more lactose, is that right? Also I used a distillers yeast that I normally use for mash, it is a very clean fermenter I hope that works out well. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the quick reply, I will update on how the distillers yeast works out. Makes me a little nervous to bottle carb since this yeast is strong I usually get a good 19-22% on a mash.
