Lactose Lactoferm 25kg - Non-Fermentable Milk Sugar

Lactose Lactoferm 25 kg is a non-fermentable milk sugar specifically designed for sweetening various beer types and wines. The product is excellently suited for all beer and wine styles, providing a soft and balanced sweetness nuance without causing additional fermentation.

Usage Principle

Lactose is a natural sugar that regular brewer's yeast cannot ferment, which is why it remains in beverages to add sweetness. When adding lactose to drinks, you achieve the desired sweetness level without worrying about further fermentation that would alter the product's taste or alcohol content. This makes lactose an ideal choice for achieving final sweetness in finished beverages.

Product Features and Benefits

Lactoferm lactose (E966) is particularly popular among craft brewers who wish to produce creamy milk stouts and dessert beers. Thanks to its low sweetening power (0.16 compared to regular granulated sugar at 1:1), lactose allows for a softer and less intense sweetness result, which works well to balance more bitter or stronger-flavored drinks.

Important Information

The product contains lactose derived from milk, making it suitable for manufacturing products where the presence of a milk component is acceptable. Please note that the use of lactose in commercial wines is not permitted according to established food regulations. However, Lactoferm lactose is an excellent choice for home winemakers and craft beer enthusiasts who wish to add a special sweet nuance to their products.

Usage Recommendations

Add lactose according to your desired sweetness level. Since lactose's sweetening power is significantly lower than that of regular sugar, a larger amount may be necessary to achieve the desired result. Start with smaller quantities and adjust according to taste. The product is ideally suited for making milk stouts, porters, creamy ales, and other special beer types, as well as sweet wines.
