Looking for a Maple Cream Ale all grain 5gal recipe. Anyone try this out before and have a decent recipe?

To get the maple flavour you need the compound Sodolon, you don't really get it from actual maple syrup in a beer. You can add fenugreek to get it. But make sure you use it in moderation or it's super overwhelming. Good luck!

Too much Fenugreek will make you smell like maple too. My wife took it because if increases milk production when nursing, twins drink a lot, and it made her smell really good.

Everdeen - do you have the recipe you used? I have yet to make this but still very interested. At the Seaport Festival in August I chatted with the Brewer from Amsterdam Brewery in Toronto and he recommended adding maple syrup directly to your keg and letting it naturally carbonate that way. Still haven't tried it, but would like to in the new year.
