Has anyone ever tried priming with Granulated Maple Sugar? While heating the sugar to sterilize it smelled delicious and was used in a 1:1 ratio for carbonating my pumpkin beer. I'm also going to prime with it to amp up the maple flavor in my maple porter. I'll let you know how it goes:ban:

"Maple sugar is about twice as sweet as standard granulated sugar.[7]"

curious where to find the maple sugar im going to make a breakfast beer that i want to have a hint of maple in but did not know that was an option...and please let me know how that goes.
 
It primed & carb'd just fine. However flavor only slightly noticable so nothing like i hoped. It's there though. I might break down and buy the capella flavor drops for ultimate mapleness. I crave this maple cream ale from vancouver im dying to replicate. Perhaps a lighter beer like a lager may do better with this maple sugar.

A “new” way to produce sweeter cider, perhaps.
