This might seem like an odd question, and I feel like a non-purist ****head for asking it, but would sugar free maple (pancake) syrup give a good flavor to beer? Has anyone ever tried it? How much would I need to add to taste a noticeable (light to moderate) amount of maple. Obviously, grade A or B pure syrups are the best to use but are extremely expensive for brewing. I don't want it to be a fermentable so I figured a sugar free maple syrup might just give me the flavor I'm looking for without the abv's. Are preservatives an issue here too? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
