I know Graham Wheeler In Brew Your Own Real Ales at Home recommends household sugars etc be added half-way through the boil. That's what I do with cocoa powder for my chocolate porter.

15-5 mins from end
Re: Milk stout
Add mine at 15 mins
Re: Milk stout
Can I ask, what's the reasoning for adding lactose in the middle of the boil rather than the beginning?

The time of addition makes no difference at all.mooncat wrote:Can I ask, what's the reasoning for adding lactose in the middle of the boil rather than the beginning?
Re: Milk stout
The general consensus seems to be around 15 mins so I'll try tossing it in at 15 mins

Re: Milk stout
Just remember it socks moisture so may clump bit by bit no rush
Re: Milk stout
Lactose is actually a non fermentable sugar, so it should not matter at what point of the boil you add it.
