This is a great video. I love the setup for boiling down the sap. I'm getting ready to make my first syrup from a friend's sap, and I think he may get something like this made for his small operation! BUT - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE always wash new jars! It's too risky not too and it only takes a few minutes to do so. Remember this is FOOD your are bottling. No such thing as too many precautions against contamination.
My bigleaf maple trees here in Northwest Washington are at about 1.8% sugar. I've been making syrup for 4 years now. I only have about 40 taps in so I don't get that mutch syrup, but it's fun to do.
Henry and Linda, brilliant video. I would like to know how much syurp you got from this batch of sap.? Also would it be acceptable to leave the tap permanently in the tree closed off similar to a water mains tap?
Don't put your dipping bucket on the ground and then back in the sap tote. Not mention your dirty hands were on the bottom of the bucket as well. Could save yourself a lot of filtering.
This video was incredible!

I loved watching this process!
Thank you!
Old Gordon on the last run of the season would made maple sugar (candy). Man that stuff was good.
I like this and want to try my hand at this.

One question. How many trees did you all tap? Also, thank you for this wonderful video.
I have a lot of Mountain Maples on my property, but I don't know if that is classed as "soft" or "hard" Maples.
That guy is gangster storing sap in a plastic storage bin 😂
People are oblivious to the Dangers of plastic
Blue bag is 4 gal.
Big Thanks

My god this was brutal to watch. So many wrongs in this vid.
And yet he ends up with syrup. There isn't "the" way to do it. There may be your way but it's the journey and how it ends and was he happy.
How about sugar haha
your fingers aren't clean...shouldnt touch the rim of the bottle
