So,
I used maple syrup as a priming agent. I didn't add water and boil as one normally does with priming sugar since I didn't want to dilute the syrup. I opened a brand new bottle of grade b organic syrup, measured into sanitized container and added to bottling bucket. Stirred gently....bottled as usual.
Its been only two weeks and the beer tastes very harsh. Could I have infected it? I am hoping it just needs time to mellow out. The pre-botttling taste was really smooth and enjoyable.
