Maple Beer

[grinch5010]

Just wondering, Has anyone tried syrup mixed with beer? Sitting next to the evap last night and decided to add a little syrup to the bottle of Blue Moon I was drinking, it tasted GREAT!!! Try it!

I'm going to make a batch of maple syrup home brew after the season is over. Until then I'll just enjoy a few Grainbelts.

We will see how this works out. Made a maple porter this year. 6 lbs of maple syrup added, and substituted the water with some good old 2% sap. Not sure how it is going to work out. The syrup was made towards the beginning of the season. Not a great deal of maple flavor and afraid it will be too sweet. Time will tell.

When brewing some porter a few years back in the second fermentation process I added a quart to half gallon of B / C grade. When the beer was finished 3 to 4 weeks after that it had a very light maple flavor it was awesome.

I tried making a maple wheat. ended up being too strong, for me at least. The owner of a local home brew supply store said it was the best maple home brew he ever tried. I tried using some grade B just to prime my beer anad it came out great. Pretty much same effect as adding a teaspoon of maple to your beer while it is in the glass.

before i dumped 30gal of fermented sap, i thought about adding some cracked corn and reworking an old family recipe but i didn't need another project:lol:...nace

I make a lot of my own beer- good stuff too! The only time I used syrup to make beer, I probably used too much and it came out more like a maple wine- heavily alcoholic (a good thing??) and a malty, cloying sweetness. All in all, a bad wine and an even worse beer!...However, I regularly use maple for priming sugar- 3/4 cup for 5 gallons and it gives it a nice creamy head that stands up and pays attention.
