Good afternoon,
I have scaled up a recipe for milk stout from 5 gal to 1.5 bbl. This will be my first venture into working with lactose. When I scaled the original recipe up lactose went from 1lb to 9.61 lb. I suspect the original recipe was heavy on lactose but at 9.61 lb in 1.5 bbl I suspect I am pushing the limits.
Has anyone brewed a milk stout? If so what level of lactose worked for you? Is it possible to overdo lactose in a stout?
Thoughts?
Thanks.
