There's a place near me in NY that makes mead out of maple syrup; https://vinoshipper.com/shop/helderb...ad_8,003?list=Quote:

Cool. Obviously a bit different than honey which is used directly..I wonder if they distill it down to say a grade a or whatever, or of they go with less sugaring?Quote:

Love the use of "cloying" in that write up. Total beer judge word. Wouldn't doubt it if they pulled it from an early competition they entered..you always get the judges.notesQuote:

If you want to search for maple mead use the term acerglyn.
Thanks. Figured someone turned that "sugar" into booze. Seemed obvious but I never considered. Consider me learned as it never came up in beer judge testing that I recall.Quote:

I have 6 gallons of resting fermented maple “Meade.” Basically, I took the sap boiled it down by about 1/2 added granulated maple sugar, champagne yeast, and in one 2.5 gallon batch golden raisers. All the batches are around 11-14%. One .5 gallon jug that was 12% I did freeze distilling, and got a ball jar full of sweet boozy maple concentrate.Quote:

Waitsfield Allen lumber closed due to covid until further notice.
Guess I'll have to take some time off.
In for the rum group buy.
I’ve made White Russian’s or a coffee milkshake with the the “distilled” maple syrup. It’s good, not sell the farm and move to Town good but good enough.Quote:

Where are all the Vermonters crying about the flatlanders screwing up the state now?? Everyone plays their part

Yep. This is fucked. We had an outbreak at the high school I teach at and we'll likely be remote for awhile. Now all VT teachers will have access to free testing.Quote:

I'd hate to be in charge of a ski resort and trying to figure out how to open with this blowing up all over the place. Between local outbreaks and the red travel map I don't see how mountains can manage this.
Sorry to hear about your school, hearing the same from a neighbor up here at their two boy's elementary/middle school. Really tough to keep a 4th and 6th grader quarantined.Quote:

The only realistic option should be stay closed until January 1st and reassess then.

Thats not what their website says, FYI. Closing for a different reason, unless they are hiding somethingQuote:

I think the email I got from the outside sales guy Tuesday and the Wednesday one from the Allen's saying it was closed due to a positive coved case is sufficient.Quote:

Hopefully the local can open then, otherwise I can get what I need from Montpellier or Barre.
Curious where you heard about the Jan 1 push back for resorts?Quote:

Thru the grapevine of skiers. And it's not a state mandate thing, its individual ski area thing.Quote:
