Peccadillo ;)

I'm wanting to do the same & brew a 5.5 gal batch for one of my taps... What % abv do you get & would you mind sharing your recipe?

I'll have to look into that & do some reading up... To be clear I don't add any juice to beers only to the cooler, but yeah I can see how the extra maple syrup in the beer could go sideways on me... For this batch I used a kveik yeast, as we don't have air conditioning so temps can really vary...

I think you're probably right, but this time I got lucky... Brown ale now has a far more pleasant flavour: (bit too) sweet, very subtley smokey, with a slight whiskey bite - it's not perfect but it's working!

I'm not sure how to describe it... We've got a 5 tap draft tower, 2 for beers, 1 for wine cooler/cider /seltzer, 1 for juice & 1 for water - works great, something for everyone... This time for some reason only the water carbonated properly... The new beer, wine cooler & orangina just didn't...

Thank you so much for being specific... Obviously liquid smoke may not be a first choice, but in my case I'm trying to rescue a batch with slightly off flavour by adding real maple syrup & just a touch of liquid smoke (which isn't some crazy chemical concoction btw)... So appreciate your...
