Lactose 500 g – milk sugar for fuller-bodied beer
Lactose, or milk sugar, is a sugar that regular brewing yeast cannot ferment. It therefore stays in the beer and adds body, fullness and a gentle sweetness. Lactose is classic in Milk Stout and is also used in NEIPA, among others. It comes in a handy tub that can be closed after use.

Lactose is usually dissolved in the wort towards the end of the boil. The amount depends on how sweet and full you want the beer, and is given in the recipe.
Frequently asked questions about lactose
Does lactose ferment in beer?
No. Regular brewing yeast cannot break down lactose, so the sugar remains in the beer and adds sweetness and body.
Which beer styles use lactose?
Lactose is most common in Milk Stout, but is also used in NEIPA and other beers where you want more body.
Can people with lactose intolerance drink beer brewed with lactose?
Lactose is milk sugar. Beer brewed with lactose therefore contains lactose, and it should be labelled for anyone drinking it.
