Milk Stout
Milk Stout
New to brewing. I recently brewed a milk stout from an extract kit with steeping grains. OG was 1.080 and pitched US-05 at 62F. After 12 days, the gravity is at 1.028. Is this ok to bottle without causing bottle bombs? The kit had a pound of lactose in the ingredients, so I know the FG will be higher because lactose is unfermentable. How many points does lactose average for 1 lb in 5.25 gallons? Thanks!

Re: Milk Stout
Dear Perton, Welcome to the homebrewer‘s Forum.
You have to do at least two to three measurements. If you See that your value stays on the same level, than you can start bottleing. As all yeast/ fermentations are a bit different there is no absolute value to say, yes you can start filling.
In addition you can check your EVG (final fermentation rate) usually this value is stated in the data sheet of the yeast and so you can check as an additional info of you are in the Right Range.
