Just put our first batch in the primary. Added about 2/3 pound of lactose and a can of pumpkin pie filling about 20 minutes left in the boil. I'm hoping that will add a sweet creamy flavor to compliment the pumpkin spices.
Thanks for the help! I'm not sure if ill end up trying it that way or not. We are getting good results the "old fashioned way" and it would realistically only save about 15 minutes of time. I checked out that article....very interesting read!
This might be a dumb question....but why put 4 gallons of water in for an hour at 152 degrees and then another 4 gallons for 10-15 minutes. What would happen if I just put 8 gallons in at 152 for an hour. Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated
