How long would you suggest leaving it in a secondary? I assume I would add it to the secondary first and then siphon in the beer in hopes to let it mix well. Then let it sit for a week before transferring to the keg? I was even thinking of adding it directly to the corny, shake it up for...

Wanted to add some maple syrup as a late addition to the boil of a porter I am going to brew. Possibly right at flame out. Wondering how much to add for a 5 gallon batch? Bottles of syrup are 12.5 fluid ounces on average and was thinking one would be enough to start and experiment. Any words...
