How to Collect & Store Maple Sap

Here is how we collect maple sap & see how we store & preserve sap before the boil and make Backyard maple syrup. Sugaring is rewarding, fun and a lot of work. We'll go through 4 more sap harvests just like in the video.

Hi Rob love the videos do you pump the sap out of the barrels

[@RobertViani]

Hey Victor! Glad you’re enjoying the vids. We don’t have a pump. We dip a smaller bucket in the barrels to fill our evaporator pan and pre heater bucket.

Great video man

[@RobertViani]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@ElmendorfAcres]

Love the paint strainer idea Rob. Good tip right there! Do you ever test your sap as far as the sugar content goes?

[@RobertViani]

Hey Tim, Thanks. I have the hydrometer for sap but never used it. This year the yield was closer to 40:1 then previous years. Usually it seems more like 50:1 although I’m not the consummate record keeper. What sugar content do you see?

[@ElmendorfAcres]

@@RobertViani We use an actual Hydrometer to measure the sugar content. But up until the last run we have been consistently in the 2.4-2.2% sugar range so 34-37 to 1 ratio. This was definitely an improvement over the last couple years. We are winding down now, hoping for 1-2 more runs this week and then pull everything Saturday.
