This may be a stupid question, but...
Does unfermentable sugar such as lactose raise the SG?
I was backsweetening some hard lemonade with lactose and stevia and wanted to raise to about 1.010 or 1.020. When checking with the hydrometer, it did not seem to go up when I added the "sugar".
I had not thought about this before... I hope I didn't make it tooooo sweet!
Thanks.
