Maple mead is a type of mead with a clean, refreshing taste that makes you crave pancakes! Maple mead is also known as Acerglyn<\/em> (pronounced as As\u2019 cerg lin with emphasis on the apostrophe). <\/p>\n\n\n\n This type of mead is made using honey and maple syrup<\/a> (half half) instead of just honey. (If this is your first time making mead, I recommend checking out my basic mead recipe<\/a> first). As with most mead varieties, the recipe for Acerglyn or maple mead tends to vary from brewer to brewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In any case, the result – when you get it right – is a beautiful, full-bodied, liquid gold<\/em> that is deliciously sweet and comes with a silky-smooth texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The taste of maple mead can be best described as dry and refreshing and you will definitely feel its notes on your tongue and in your nose. Traditional mead makers insist on using Grade B maple syrup for making maple mead; this way – the resulting mead will have a richer flavour of maple. If you live in a maple-growing area, you can even substitute water with maple sap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maple mead and maple wine are often confused for each other. In reality, there are many differences, the primary one being that maple wine does not contain any honey and it is just fermented maple syrup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maple mead, on the other hand, contains honey which provides the necessary sugars for the friendly yeasts during fermentation. Maple wine only contains maple sap or maple syrup and it tends to have that woodsy, dry taste. Maple mead is a lot sweeter than wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, let\u2019s look at the recipe for maple mead.<\/p>\n\n\nPrint<\/a><\/span>Maple wine vs maple mead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
