The maples have been pitifull at best and my birch haven't even started yet. But the birch usualy only starts when the maple are done. Ive got my fingers crossed but I think this year I might need to blend maple with birch in order to have enough sap to brew with. The flavours from the birch sap seem to lend more flavour than the maple sap. But either way it's a fun once a year experiment.

Funny, I just got done doing the same...

At least one of us is wrong about the winner part  :cheers:

I'm eyeing up a double brew day good Friday. (Related to the above) I'll be making 10gal of my Maple ESB (I use Costco maple syrup... 500g per 5gal) and 10gal of my Pale Ale (5gal of which someone 'bought' in a silent auction for my curling club). Haven't brewed in a while so I'm looking forward to getting my stocks back up.

Forever Unclean!!!!

One trick I do is place cling wrap over top of the stir plate so any overflow stays out of the internals

Its pretty ghetto, I just took a computer fan and screwed a piece of cardboard onto it. Good thing is it will be easy to clean!
