Is it possible to make a very small amount of syrup from a qt of Maple Water?

Thanks, it’s in a carboy, so I’ll let it sit longer, clear up a bit, then put it in secondary, let it clear up some more, etc...

Measured the gravity, it’s at 10%. Guessing its time to move to secondary and add more maple syrup? Let it sit longer? Thoughts?

Thanks, I’ll check the gravity, see what I have. Also, the fermentation has slowed significantly, maybe a bubble a minute. I started on the 11th. Is that normal? It’s been a good 15+ years since my last homebrew.

Making an Acerglyn based off a recipe I found. I’ve changed a few things, ie making a smaller batch (2.5 g), using Lalvin 71B, going to back sweeten w/ 16oz of maple syrup. On the recipe, it calls to add nutrient to the pitch, then more after 3 days, then more after 3 more days. I was...

My fault, when I was posting it, I didn’t notice that option on my phone. I figured it all fell under one group, Mead, Wine, Cider, and Sake. Good to know for future posts, thanks. So if I’m only doing like a 2.5 gallon Acerglyn, if I added, say 16oz of maple syrup to back sweeten, you...

Getting back into brewing after taking off 15+ years. Wanted to start with a simple Acerglyn, something small, around 2.5 gal. I’ve searched around a bit, found a lot of varying recipes. Any ideas? Thanks
