Notes

8oz of lactose altogether -- duped in recipe for accurate final ABV.

4oz in Primary, 4 oz for priming. If we decide to force carb, this latter lactose may be better suited being added with the vanilla beans.

Vanilla beans to be added 2 degrees Plato before final gravity, or at final gravity if necessary. Remove before bottling/kegging.

YEAST: 68 optimal, raise to 75 during last half of fermentation is possible.
