Artificial sweetners

Dave Line advocated adding sweetener tablets for most of his recipes.

Is this still done?

Does any commercial brewery do this? If they do, I bet the head brewer sneaks the stuff in after everyone else has gone home!

I used lactose in a milk stout once. I over did it!

Some of the more commercial Belgian fruit beers use sweeteners (saccharin). I prefer those beers sour myself.

Personally, I've never used saccharin. I've also never brewed a Dave Line recipe so that maybe why.

Like canned Mort Subite kriek, you can really taste the saccharin in that and it's disgusting.

if I want it sweeter I mash it higher with a touch more malt
