Lactose

    Description

    One fourth as sweet as cane sugar (sucrose) and non-fermentable by yeast. Use lactose when you want to sweeten a dry or bitter wine or beer. Also used to add sweetness and body to beers such as sweet stouts (milk stouts). Add a small amount, mix, and taste. Lactose can be added until desired flavor is obtained. There is no fermentation period or rest needed, so wine/beer may be bottled immediately. Add to hot water and mix thoroughly before adding to wine/beer. Add at end of fermentation, before bottling.


    Usage: 8 oz. per 5 gallons, or to taste

        Watch out for fermentation

        I think this should be labeled as "not very fermentable" instead of "un-fermentable." The first time I used it I added it just prior to bottling along with the usual amount of corn sugar. One bottle actually exploded and the rest were all foam. I could pour a 12 oz bottle into a liter pitcher and it would FILL it with foam! The next time I added it into the secondary and had no problem so just beware how you use it.

        No moisture or clumping. Quality is what you would expect.
