PB2 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The English Bitter kit holds plenty of flavour and the stronger flavoured maple syrup may meld nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunyJim Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 So update. Just bottled. this one. I added 250ml of #2 Medium maple syrup to the fermenter with the extract etc. Only took about a week to ferment. The flavour was a nice bitter hop, and a slight orange flavour. Unfortunately the maple was gone, not detectable. Having sampled many maple beers lately, I find that it is a very faint flavour, if you didn't know it was maple you might think smoke or a light coffee or something. So not willing to not have maple in my Extra smooth maple English bitter, I bought a syringe (without the needle part)from the drug store (People use them to give babies medicine) and some #4 Dark maple syrup. The darkest syrup you can get, and I primed the bottes with it rather than my coopers drops. 6.6ml of syrup per 740ml bottle. and 2.8ml of syrup per 310ml bottle. Let you know in 2 weeks or so how it all turned out [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
