I plan to try this one next. I have a question about some of the ingredients used at bottling. You have listed 8 oz lactose and 12 oz light dme. Is it safe to assume that you mean either/or, or do i use both to batch prime?

System Account • 12/05/2013 at 04:40pm
Use both. The lactose will not ferment. It is added for sweetness. The light dme will ferment. It is for CO2.

Keith S. • 03/17/2014 at 04:49pm
Based on the calculator in BeerSmith, the amount of LME used for bottling gives you a carb level of 4 volumes of CO2...is this really what was intended? That seems a bit extreme...

Do I skip the lactose and dme if I am kegging

Keith S. • 08/10/2014 at 02:02am
The DME, yes, as that's to give you carbonation in the bottle...the lactose is for sweetness, which you want.

Never mind I get it

We modified the recipe and did not use the irish moss (not available in our store) so our product is a tad cloudy but other than that the flavour is outstanding. I feel like this would make a great Christmas beer.
