I found a recipe for Kilkenny on this website. It calls for a can of Morgan Royal Oak Amber Ale, 1 kg powdered light malt, some hops 150 gr. lactose and 200 gr. caramaltgrain. My store didn't have the lactose nor caramalt grain. Is the lactose for priming? If not, what can I substitute? What can I use in substitution of caramaltgrain. I bought some Munich grain. Would this be O.K?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.

No. The lactose is chosen because it is a non-fermentable sugar. It will remain in the brew, as sugar i.e. it sweetens it. It would be entirely useless for priming.
I wouldn't suggest substituting anything. I would change HBS (lactose is very common in HBS, used for multiple purposes, perhaps most commonly milk stout).

Psst! I have a couplea keys of the white stuff here that I got with the shit I bought from the HBS that closed down. I can easily send you a quarter key baggie of top-quality lac through the post. What colour boogie board bag would you like?guy poppe wrote: My store didn't have the lactose nor caramalt grain. Is the lactose for priming? If not, what can I substitute?
Seriously, tho, I have a lot of Brewcraft-packaged lactose here and I can post some to you if you're desperate to stick to the recipe. Bear in mind that I did a milk stout with 250 grams of lac and it has a very, very sweet finish.

Ha, those Aussies always come through. Thank you kindly for all your advise and offers of assistance.
For us here in Canada, it's that time of the ear for some cool ones. Sorry you folks down under will have to go with hot chocolate.
In the meantime I will stick with your advise and follow the recipe. I'm sure I can find the necessary ingredients. Maybe I start grain farming.
Kindest Regards
