On a related note I can't wait for sugar season. Got 3 gallons of syrup from 5 trees last year.

Thanks for the help! I had no idea King Arthur made extracts, we've been buying their bread flour for years! When do you add it into your wort? I added it to secondary after 2 weeks. If you want I could send you one to try. See if it's up your alley.

I used the natural extract from King Arthur flour. 2 bottles( which I believe are 1 ounce each) per the 5 gallons. I agree that many extracts leave a chemical taste but these did not. I also added 1 vanilla bean to try to round out the flavor. A lot of times that'll work, though not always.

In my experience maple ferments out and the flavor goes with it. I've added it at flameout and primed with it and got some slight woodiness out of it and that's about it. I just made a maple cream blond ale where I used maple extract and the flavor was much more pronounced and detectable. All in...

Fwiw, I used tamarind paste in a saison that added a good amount of sourness in a saison I brewed. It did the trick for just adding sour with no discernible flavor.

I recently just bought a grain mill and fly sparge instead of batch and my efficiency went up 15 points. Yes fly sparging is longer but I'll take the bump all day. The crush wouldn't of given me that much of a bump. Glad I made the switch. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
