what is the best way to add lactose at bottling time?

Hi,

I forgot to add some lactose to my brew, but that's not too much of an issue as this now means I can taint some bottles with lactose, to see how it affects the taste.

What is the best of adding lactose at bottling time? Should I dissolve it first in preboiled (but cooled) water, or will that be okay to do in filtered tap water straight from the filter tap? Or can I just add some to the bottle, and will it dissolve when I fill the bottle with beer? I know lactose is not fermentable so exploding bottles shouldn't be an issue with lactose, right?

Thanks,

Richy

Whenever I add lactose (which isn't very often) I always dissolve it in boiling water before adding it.

Never done it at bottling time, though.
