Notes

Porter made from maple sap, no water. Added 1 pint of maple syrup (same farm as the sap) at FO. From what I have been able to read, the consensus seems to be that not much maple flavor will shine through unless you use a gallon or more at FO or in a secondary, which I do not plan to do. Worst case scenario, it the maple will not be noticeable, and I'll be left with a solid porter; tragic. Going to ferment at 64F for a week then go up to about 68 for the duration, prob 3 weeks total in primary. BTW, the recipe called for 1# 40L, but my store only had about a half pound, so on a whim, used 120L for the other half. Perhaps this will be a stout.
