Hi guys,
So my brew buddy and I are bottling up our Coffee Stout tonight, it was loosely based on the Founder's Breakfast stout all grain recipe with no coffee in the boil but instead added to secondary with some Mexican cocoa nibs. OG was 1.070, final gravity of 1.018.. In the interests of experimentation, we are going to do half with normal bottling sugar and half with lactose....
My questions is ......is this a good idea? And in using the lactose for bottling, do we also use bottling sugar as well? I don't want a overly sweet beer.
Anyone else done this? When I do a search, I see a few people who have added lactose to the boil but not bottled with it? thanks for help.
