Milk stout

When should i add the lactose to the boil. Beer smith is calling for 60 min?

Anytime, but I generally add mine closer to flame out to help "save" room in the kettle since sometimes I'm pretty near the top and a pound of anything takes up a bit of room.

Yooper, are there any value one way or another as to when you add it?

No. Unless you are doing a small boil, I guess, so that the wort would condense and create maillard reactions but that would be a stretch as there isn't that much sugar in a pound of lactose as far as I know. I think it's (9?) points in 5 gallons. So pretty negligible really.

Yooper, thanks for the info. Cheers!!
