Up here in Vermont we are finally getting "sugaring weather" and it got me to thinking about using maple sap to make beer.
Years ago when we had "tap-able" maples on our property, I would collect sap to make coffee, replacing the brewing water with sap. Very tasty. So.... why not make beer... a stout, maybe.... using sap in place of water? Sap can range from 1-4% sugar... is this too low a percentage to make any difference?
Anyone else tried this?
TIA
