---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12 Oct 89 09:10:35 EDT From: JBAUER at bat.bates.edu Subject: maple brew, hops Mark MacLean writes. -> I am contemplating creating a beer containing maple syrup, and was -> wondering if anyone out there has tried and has any experience with -> it which they would share. Questions I have are: -> -> 1) Ale or Lager? -> 2) How much syrup should be used? -> 3) What/How much hops should be used in the batch? Last spring I brewed a mapple syrup ale and it was very nice. A couple of notes for referance, in the Spring '89 Zymurgy (I think) there was an article about a maple brew, also in the same issue was a letter from a reader again about a maple batch both had recipes. As for my batch I added 1 1/2 pints of fancy grade pure Maine syrup (since that's what I had in the fridge) to a standard 6# light malt batch. I don't have with be what I used for hops but I used something on the lighter side so as to not over power the maple flavor. Although the resulting ale was very good the maple flavor was missing. The moral to this story is use more syrup and syrup of a darker grade than I used. B or even C grade might work out better. On a different note I have seen and heard conflicting info about the equivilence of hop pellets versus dried brick packed hops. Is there an oz for oz substitution or not?

Date: Thu, 12 Oct 89 11:51:43 PDT From: Mike Kahn <mike at stat.washington.edu> Subject: alpha levels What is the alpha level for hops? Also, what are the effects of mixing Kent Golding and Nugget, say with alphas of 5.2 and 14.4 respectively, say in equal proportions. Surely it can't be the same as putting in hops with alpha-level 9.8. Thanks, Mike Kahn mike at brothers.stat.washington.edu Return to table of contents
