OK .... so I picked up TWO 4 Liter bottles of Amish-Made 'Grade B' Pure Maple Syrup from Ontario yesterday and want to make a Maple Mead. After perusing the forums, I came up with a recipe I think will work out and want to try:
4 Liters Maple Syrup
12 Pounds Clover Honey
3 Teaspoons Acid Blend
4 Teaspoons Fermaid
Water to 6 gallons
Either D-47 or KI-V1116
I'll use the other bottle later - depending on the results of this first batch. ;D
I would like this to finish semi-sweet and (hopefully) have a decent maple flavor. Does this recipe look OK? Of the two yeasts, which one would be more suitable for what I want? Or perhaps I need a totally different yeast?
Your help - as always - is greatly appreciated !
