Golden Ale brewing day

I decided to make a light golden ale with a special ingredient. The idea is to make a session beer with a bit of zest. I'm planning to add about a 10 ounces of maple syrup to the secondary fermenter to add flavor and a bit more alcohol. This will extend out the fermentation time as well because the sugars are more complex to ferment and take longer. I am using all extract for this batch and am hoping to get a nice light color. Starting with 3 pounds of Briess Dry Malt Extract, one pound of Bavarian wheat extract and two pounds of Briess Pilsen malt - a very light malt color. I am using one ounce of Perle hops for bittering and Styrian Goldings for finishing.

The beer came out with a bit higher Original Gravity than I thought. It settled out at 1.055. I pitched a Munton's yeast that I harvested from the Cuvee beer secondary fermenter and had chilled overnight in a cleaned old baby food jar. I put the yeast in a little luke warm water and added some malt and had it sitting with cling wrap over the top. I am hoping for a vigorous bubble by the time I go to bed in hopes I get pretty good attenuation.
