So I haven't been brewing for very long, but I'm trying out Beer Tools Pro 1.5 to design some recipes. I'm working on a cream stout and it shows that lactose adds gravity points (which is should right), but it seems to assume those gravity points get fermented out.

For the recipe I'm working on I add 1/2 lb of lactose to a 23L batch to add 4 points to OG, but it only adds 1 point to FG, and my % EtOH is increased as well.

Do other programs do this? Has anybody else noticed it? Can I fix it?

EDIT: after searching again I found the answer of why here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/figuring-out-fg-promash-19362/ . I will probably just add 4 points onto the FG... any other suggestions?
