Lactoferm Lactose 1kg

€7,95

Lactoferm Lactose is a non-fermentable milk sugar used to add sweetness to beer and wine without being fermented by normal brewing yeast. It is particularly useful when you want to increase sweetness while retaining the original character of the drink.

Lactose has a relatively low sweetness compared with sucrose, allowing you to add sweetness without the same level of fermentability associated with ordinary brewing sugar.

Uses

Lactose can be used for:

  • Sweetening beer
  • Sweetening wine
  • Adding residual sweetness to beer styles
  • Balancing bitter or highly roasted beers
  • Creating sweeter beer recipes
