Awesome video, well done!. This will be our second year making maple syrup on the farm and watching your video we learned some new tricks. Thank you for sharing. Canadian Gold I love it!.
Great job with this video. I will be referring back to this if I ever get sap to flow around here. Haha! Actually we are heading into prime weather for sap collection for the next week. I may try it again.
Guys,you have one of the best channel on homestead but I noticed not enough subscribers. I suggest do some advertisement and join other people like you and cross market. You will find most youtubers are helpful. Best luck.
Great video, I have watched it a few times and have take away pointers each time! I really like your idea with the funnel in the lid when collecting your sap. Can you tell me where you got the funnel from? Good luck this spring and I look forward to another video!
So I have a question for you, I noticed you included the frozen bits in with the sap. Others have said removing the ice removes water from the sap before boiling, decreasing the boil time. Thoughts?
Awesome video Dave! I have a question: how do you get the crusty burned syrup off the rim of your chaffing dishes? That stuff is like armor plating!! I'm thinking about getting out the palm sander :)
I don't do anything special. As pieces flake off, they are scooped out of the tray with a little steel strainer that we use when we are boiling. I've wondered if a pressure washer might remove the stuff if the trays are left sitting outside in the sun in the summer to dry the caramelized sugar off of them.
When you are doing the evaporating, can you heat it TOO hot? I am a little unsure at the temperature to keep this at. FYI: My boiling point here in Idaho is 203F.
Rolling boil. Roughly 7 degrees F over your water boiling point is a baseline to use for maple syrup. Boiling further will turn it into granulated sugar. We have a video on making the sugar as well.
So you mention the filters can be reused. Where they are paper, how do you do this without destroying them? This will be my second year doing syrup but last year I used cheescloth and it got most nitre out but not all.
After you’ve filtered your hot syrup, put the paper filters into a pot of hot water to soak for a minute or two. Then rinse them inside and out under hot water from the tap. Air dry and store them for later. They are cooking oil filters, so they’re a little more durable than say coffee filters.
@@Wilderstead Perfect...I've just ordered the filters from your link. I'll see how it all works! Only have the one tree...but have a neighbour or two wanting me to tap theirs as well.
@@jamesmoulton5482 we really appreciate that! And tapping neighbours trees is something that we did in the past when we still lived in an urban spot. Best wishes for the up coming sugar season!
We don’t have the same maple trees that you have in Canada, but in my area there’s the acer pseudoplatanus, that is in the same family as sugar maple, I’ve read on an American site that is possible to make syrup from every maple three. Do you confirm? Does anybody has some experience in this?
Yes, you can make syrup from your trees. The ratio of sap to syrup will be much higher, though. And keep in mind that you need temps below and above zero Celsius for extended periods of time in order for the trees to push sap up from the roots in the spring time.
That will depend on how much sap you are boiling, so it's a little different for everyone. The final temperature is what really counts. If you are boiling and using fahrenheit to measure temp, you'll want to go 7 degrees f above the boiling point of water on a given day. Celcius, go 5 degrees C above the boiling point of water on a given day. The temperature of boiling water can vary based on a number of environmental factors.
That is a Grade A video, thank you for walking us through the process, this video was everything it said it was going to be and more.
wow that is literally the perfect excuse to buy a turkey fryer !!

Awesome video! I went on a school field trip many decades ago and had forgotten some of the steps. Love all the extra TIPS provided!
Glad it was helpful!
Can't beat homemade syrup it was good meeting you on Quebec Homesteads live.. stay safe🇺🇸🤠
That's the first time I've seen anyone else can that way! It's the way my mom taught me to can jam/jelly.❤️
Nice job on a quick run down of how to make maple syrup.
I thought it was the Saporator 5000. Great video! Who doesn't love that bottled gold!
I keep forgetting to paint the number on the side of it Josh!
I didn't know about the ratios of sap to syrup. Verry well done!
Thanks Mallorie!
I love your evaporater! If I had some property again, I would surely design mine like this. Great video!
Excellent tutorial, Dave! I hope some day I will have the opportunity to enjoy your gold :)
Thanks Cathy! Hopefully this year we can ship it to ya!
Awesome video! This is probably the best how-to video on maple syrup making that I've ever seen. You should do more of these how-to videos. Great job!
Thanks A! Will definitely try and do some more how to vids!
Awesome video, well done!. This will be our second year making maple syrup on the farm and watching your video we learned some new tricks. Thank you for sharing. Canadian Gold I love it!.
I know you all are taking a bit of a break from TH-cam, but I hope you all are doing well and will continue to post some videos.
Thanks guys! Hopefully the tricks help you out. Also, what A said there!
Great job with this video. I will be referring back to this if I ever get sap to flow around here. Haha! Actually we are heading into prime weather for sap collection for the next week. I may try it again.
Fingers cross for ya buddy!!
good work guys. i like the evaporator
We need a bigger one now LOL!!
What a great video man!!! First year trying this myself and appreciate the tips!
Glad it helped!

I love your saporator! That’s awesome
Thankyou! I think we need a bigger one now though! LOL
thanks for the info
Cheers
Way cool
Thanks Virginia!
Hello my fellow Canadian TH-camr! 🇨🇦. I’m looking forward to getting to know your channel!
Welcome to the Wilderstead!
awesome video buddy
Pure Canadian gold hey!?🤔 Well, I can't argue with that. It's worth more in my book.😁
Hahahaha!! Sweet!
Guys,you have one of the best channel on homestead but I noticed not enough subscribers. I suggest do some advertisement and join other people like you and cross market. You will find most youtubers are helpful. Best luck.
Thank you Nish! And thank you for your maple syrup order. It is on its way!
Sweet !
Great video, I have watched it a few times and have take away pointers each time! I really like your idea with the funnel in the lid when collecting your sap.
Can you tell me where you got the funnel from?
Good luck this spring and I look forward to another video!
Glad it was helpful! I believe the funnel was from TSC. Possibly from Canadian Tire. Cheers!
Perfect Tks!
way under-subbed.. Amazing, motivational content.
So I have a question for you, I noticed you included the frozen bits in with the sap. Others have said removing the ice removes water from the sap before boiling, decreasing the boil time. Thoughts?
Just so happens we made a video all about this. Here’s a link: th-cam.com/video/RyAm_O9l3vE/w-d-xo.html
Also, can you do the laster filtering right into the jars instead of filtering it into quart jars, then reheating it back to fill the jars?
Awesome video Dave!

@@Wilderstead So, leave it be, and call it "seasoning" like a wok or CI pan?
@@OakKnobFarm Thats kinda the way I look at it. Otherwise I'd be trying to scrub the pans daily LOL!
@@Wilderstead You just made my day. I used a lot of steel wool last season LOL.... a LOT
I'll take a bottle of that. Is shipping rediculace? I'm in Florida.

Rolling boil. Roughly 7 degrees F over your water boiling point is a baseline to use for maple syrup. Boiling further will turn it into granulated sugar. We have a video on making the sugar as well.
How long could you store the sap until you have enough to boil? And what condotions are needed so the collected sap doesn't get bad in the meantime?
Keep it ice cold until you are able to boil it.
I have already bought plastic taps how should I clean them?
Hot water and a small scrub brush. The stainless ones are much easier to clean and less likely to pass on bacteria to the tree.
So you mention the filters can be reused. Where they are paper, how do you do this without destroying them? This will be my second year doing syrup but last year I used cheescloth and it got most nitre out but not all.

@@Wilderstead Thanks for this. And looks like you are simply using a regular canning funnel?
@@jamesmoulton5482 depends what we are filling, but that’s a regular canning funnel.

Does it get thicker at it sits or does it stay liquidated like a water type state
I’m not sure what you’re asking. It’s maple syrup, so yes, it stays a liquid unless you process it further and turn it into granulated sugar.
We don’t have the same maple trees that you have in Canada, but in my area there’s the acer pseudoplatanus, that is in the same family as sugar maple, I’ve read on an American site that is possible to make syrup from every maple three. Do you confirm? Does anybody has some experience in this?

Nice channel!! im new here must have a look around!!
Can I get this syrup
Yes. We sell it on our website.
Do you ever worry about bear?
Several clips in your video. I keep seeing a fox behind you
The only thing left out is how long to boil at each step!!?!?!
