The spirit will clean things up if it puked. Did you add some oil of some kind. Some say butter while stripping. Very slow heatup let sit for a while then heat again.I drink so much now,on the back of my license it’s a list of organs I need.

Sounds like it’s done if it’s not sweet.Could the issue be that this batch is high in non fermentable sugars? Some Maple syrups only have around 65% fermentables, which would put your 1090 OG – 1030 FG in the ballpark. +1 – That or an anti foam like fermcap AT would be my 1st go to.You could also try a bit of Glucoamylase to see if that makes any difference to the fermentation.Cheers & Good luck getting it sorted
