I know it does seem like a lot. Like I mentioned this has to have a distinct maple flavor. I am planning on having this sit for a couple months (not sure if it will happen) so from everything I have read the maple will somewhat die out. I do agree on the hops.
Ok so here is where I have ended.

You are right. I had the WB-06 on my mind. I was going to do a wheat version but since I have all of this other stuff I changed my mind. Half a cup of the maple syrup? I can't see that being anywhere near enough, but I could be wrong too.
I am attempting to build a recipe from items I have left over and hanging around. I am going for a porter style and want to incorporate maple syrup. The whole maple syrup idea has to do with a very good friend who make the syrup. So basically I can get as much as I need. He handed me a gallon...
I am going to be trying this one very soon. Thanks for the recipe. Will let you know how it turns out. 2BeerSpeer I use Beer Smith and it converts great.
