So, as the title suggests, my theory is to boil up some pure maple syrup with perhaps equal or twice the amount of water, add some nutrients and yeast and ferment out the sugars. Then boil the "wash" to sterilize it for storage, and use it to add some flavour to my whiskys.
This is all in the planning stages, :-B so, open to suggestions.
500 ml of syrup
500-1000 ml of water
Boil for 15-30 mins. If this results in a clarified liquid I might split it into 2 batches and ferment the cleared liquid as 1, and the sediment as another.
Add some nutrients, still researching what it might need.......
Yeast
Ferment for xx days, Probably use dryness and lack of sweetness as the aiming point.
