Alright, Here is what I plan on doing for my maple porter.

3.00 lb Amber Liquid Extract
3.00 lb Dark Liquid Extract
1.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 30L
0.25 lb Black (Patent) Malt
0.25 lb Chocolate Malt
3.00 lb Maple Syrup (Secondary)
1.50 oz Cascade (Boiling)
1.00 oz Goldings, East Kent (Finishing)
2 Pkgs British Ale
4.22 oz Maple Syrup (priming)

From everything that I've read, adding the Maple to the boil and primary fermentation reduces the actual maple flavor. I figured if I add the Maple into the secondary it will preserve more of the maple flavor in the final profile.
 
So I started this Brew 4 weeks ago and it's still going. I added the Maple to the secondary. This weekend I'm going to take a new gravity reading to see how it's going.
