Sugar Maple Wine

I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has experience with Maple Wine. We are sugaring here in NH and have access to plenty of sap and syrup.

I have a little experience. First don't boil the sap down all the way to sugar stop at syrup (this makes it easier to mix with water. Every syrup is going to have a slightly different SG so you will want to check the SG as you add it to the water (if you had a Hydrometer that could measure the Maple Syrup that would work, but most Hydrometers used in brewing will not have a scale that will go that high, mine was reading in the air bulb at the bottom when I made my attempt). Very little in the way of additives is needed (maybe Tannin, there should be enough nutrients in the Maple Syrup). I hope that helps. Ken

Must be nice! The only sap I have access to is between the ears.
