First Boil of 2024 | Maple Syrup at Our Lakefront Property - Using a Reverse Osmosis Machine

Join us as we complete the first maple syrup boil and bottling of the 2024 season. In this video, we get some firewood ready for the syrup season, see how our trees are running and collect sap. We show you how we boil down our sap, testing, filtering and bottling. We also use our reverse osmosis system for the first time.

Adding more stove stack pipes make for a hotter fire, better boil

Buy a sawmill and turn the logs into lumber softwood is great for building build yourself a sugar shack out of all the lumber you get

[@OurLifeLakeside]

A sawmill is definitely on the future list! Just not in the cards right now. We have an Alaskan mill for small projects and we sell off any good saw logs to people that do have mills. For now though we don’t have one ourselves though so the softwood gets donated to whoever can use it for outdoor burners, campfire wood or we sell the saw logs. John also is a chainsaw carver so some get used for that! Thanks for watching.
