Lactose is a non-fermentable sugar used to sweeten Brown ales and Stouts. It gives a beer a creamy texture, or "milky" flavor. Lactose adds body and sweetness to drier beers. Add to boil. Because lactose is not fermentable, it will remain intact in your brew, allowing you to add sweet flavors without having to prematurely stop the fermentation processes to leave a larger amount of malt or sugars, lowering your alcohol content.
