I’ve been meaning to try to clone this recipe for a while and came across this on the internet. Any ideas for changes to this (yes, I want to do extract). In particular, would you add the lactose in the keg directly (dispense vessel)?

I’d recommend adding the lactose in the last 10-ish minutes of the boil.

Thanks Jeff, was thinking something like that would make sense. What do you think about the quantity. I have a few 1 lb bags. Think 1 lb (vs proposed 5 oz) is overkill?

Can't comment on the amounts (I don't use lactose... although tripling the amount in a recipe seems like a bad idea in one go!), but if you're uncertain, I'd go low and add more post-fermentation if you think it is lacking. Dissolve in water and boil long enough to drive off O2 and sterilize, cool, and add to taste.

I hear you, it sounds excessive tripling it but I've used that amount in an IPA a few times
