Notes

IMPORTANT NOTE!
Water and sparge water will be maple tree sap. OG is expected to be higher - possibly 1.062.

Maple Syrup (ours was home made from our own trees) should be added to the secondary and given at least another 4-5 days to finish fermenting. This does dry the beer out some.

  • The beer came out great! Certainly a big beer though - probably over 7% with the added maple syrup
  • we were at 6.3% having just used the maple sap as water!
  • I am sure it will eventually drop clear at some point but I doubt it will stay in the keg long enough -
