Notes

Extra Dark/Robust (formerly Grade B) Vermont Maple Syrup

Added maple syrup and candi sugar to wort post flameout, once temperature dipped below 180'F.

Combined and rehydrated both packets together (20 mins at 85-95'F), then directly pitched to 5.5 gal wort, OG 1.079, at 63'F, free rise to 77'F over 2.5 - 3 days, then slowly dropped to 72'F. Kegged in day 12 (would have done it sooner day 10), SG 1.010.
