Sounds like the way my mother made home mad bread. It is good quality syrup. I t was a great year for sap. There is plenty for breakfast.

What is a starter? I have only made three kits so far. This would be my first on my own.

I found the following recipe in 6 gal primary add 1 1/2 gal maple syrup 4 gal water 2 tsp acid blend 4 tsp yeast energizer 1 campden tablet 1 pkg. Red Star champagne yest Ir'll take a day to get fermenting and should go crazy for 4 to 6 weeks. Rack off sediment and then re-rack...

I would like to make a Maple mead? or wine. What is the difference? A good friend is going to give me 2 gallons of pure maple syrup. Anyone have a good recipe? Should a fining agent be added like a grape wine kit? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
