Maple Wine, not Maple Mead. I find recipes here and there,
now and then. But success stories I have yet to hear or read and I've yet to find a commercial Maple Wine. Is anyone aware of one? I have spoken with (not just e-mailed) six maple producers over the last 4 weeks. None have tried to brew it (Maple Beer: Yes; Maple Wine: No) and none have ever seen it commercially. Anyone have a clue as to what is the problem? Dick |

I have never made it. Maple is not readily available and is expensive down
here in Texas. But, it is discussed a lot on the rec.crafts.meadmaking group. I am sure you will find people there who have made it and can intelligently discuss it with you.

A quick google will net you lots of recipes. Comercially maple syrup blended with grape wine is available from a winery in Naramata BC. |

There is a commercial maple wine made and available here in Nova Scotia
(probably available throughout Canada), which is made by Jost Vineyards. You can find a description of it at http://www.jostwine.com/selection.html Apparently, it's made with maple syrup and fresh maple sap. I've tried it, and it is a very nice dessert wine. It is very sweet, and the maple flavour definitely shines through. Jesse |

I recently made 5 Gallons for Maple Syrup wine. Started out with 2
gallons of Syrup, and added water to get it to s.g. 1.095. Used a dry wine yeast.. It came out pretty strong, and had to dilute it with a little water, and a little more syrup. It's definately worth a try. RogerK |

You're the first Nova Scotian I've seen on here (besides me)!
I'd also be interested in making a maple wine. I've never tried the Jost variety, might be worth a go.

I've seen mead in stores in Quebec, but never in Alberta and British Columbia (and I've spent a heck of a lot more time shopping for alcohol in my years out west than I did in my week in Montreal). ---The Mad Alchemist--- http://www.mad-alchemy.com Email sent to the above address, unless clearly marked as wine or heraldry, will be deleted unread. |

I just started following req.crafts.winemaking, and have found it to be extremely informative, although I wouldn't have guessed any other Nova Scotians would be lurking about. We do have excellent maple sap and syrup in our province; I too would like to make a maple wine, or maybe a mead. What part of the province do you live in, if you don't mind my asking?

I knew there was something I was forgetting to do. Diammonium phosphate contains the ammonium ion (NH4 +, a very weak acid) and the hydrogen phosphate ion (HPO4 2-), which is amphoteric. However, it's much more basic than acidic- if you had that ion in water without the ammonium, it would give a pH of about 10. The ammonium would moderate that a little- I calculate that a 0.1 mol/L sol'n of the salt would be about 8ish, which is basic. So, yeah, it's more basic than acidic. |
