I haven't been able to taste any maple flavors when I use syrup to prime. Backsweetening works great though.

freeze concentrating is a whole other animal. Applejack is the common name for it and a quick search will give you a lot of great threads to read through. From my personal experience, Applejack is great to sip on, but overindulging gives you a much worse hangover than most anything else...

Distilling is not home brewing, and the mods frown on it's being discussed here

I once sewed up a teeshirt and soaked it in sanitizer. It did not work very well

Guys, Trading in homebrew is illegal. just because you're not trading it for papers with dead presidents doesn't mean the Feds will let it slide. Keep it quiet.

I'm blessed in that most of my coworkers have a deep respect for my homebrew. I give away 10 bottles per batch, and it's first come, first served.

Dissolved CO2 is my guess. Did you stabilize and degas or were you planning on carbing it?
