Lactose – 500g (Milk Sugar)

Add smoothness and sweetness to your brews with Lactose. Known as milk sugar, lactose is a non-fermentable sugar that adds body, creaminess, and a touch of residual sweetness to beer — perfect for creating rich, dessert-like styles.

Commonly used in milk stouts, cream ales, porters, and dessert-style beers, lactose enhances mouthfeel and balances bitterness without being overly sweet. Since brewing yeast cannot ferment lactose, it remains in the finished beer to create a soft, rounded texture.

Key Features:

  • 500g pack of pure food-grade lactose (milk sugar)

  • Adds body, creaminess, and mild sweetness

  • Ideal for stouts, porters, cream ales, and dessert beers

  • Non-fermentable — yeast won’t convert it into alcohol

  • Easy to dissolve in hot water or wort before fermentation

Directions for Use:
Add 250–500g per 23L batch (to taste) during the boil or while heating your wort to ensure complete dissolution.
