I have about 6 maples around my house, if I cook it once a week from March and April 20ozx4x2= min.160 oz. Smth like that.❤
@PracticalMechanic7 ай бұрын
Yeah, I'd say a little over a gallon of syrup from 6 maple trees should be doable. Depends a bit on type of Maple and weather, too. Anyway, good luck, sounds fun! 👍 😁

Did you get those 4 mason jars from 5 gallons of sap?
@PracticalMechanic Жыл бұрын
Yes, that's correct! It takes a lot of boiling! Typical yield is about 32:1 for sugar maple trees. So 5 gallons of sap would give you about 20 oz of Maple Syrup! It's definitely a labor of love!

The sap is food for the tree. If it gets extracted, will the tree become susceptible to disease, insect damage, etc?

I think you answered it, but how long can I store the sao before boiling and is there an ideal temp to store it? I know you said 40 degrees for about a week, but would it be ok in a fridge too for longer?
@PracticalMechanic Жыл бұрын
Yeah, should be okay for longer than a week, but before your use it, check the smell. If it smells bad or starts to look cloudy, something is growing in there, might want to throw it out at that point! 👍

So how much maple syrup did you get from 5 gallons of sap from the tree??
@PracticalMechanic5 ай бұрын
I get about 15-20 oz of syrup from 5 gallons of sap. A typical ratio is about 40:1, but depends on the type of Maple tree. It can also vary from year to year depending on the weather, and it can also vary from tree to tree!

How many boils can you get out of the propane tank?
@PracticalMechanic Жыл бұрын
Good question! Short answer: about 3-4. Longer answer: With one 20lb propane tank, you can get about 15-20 hrs of boiling, which is enough to boil down about 15 gallons of sap. For a more detailed description, as well as other common questions about boiling maple syrup, check out this article: practicalmechanic.com/2020/04/10/faqs-on-boiling-maple-syrup/

I’m from Malaysia so it’s quite interesting to see how Maple syrup is made. Amazing that 1 tree can produce 1 gallon of sap per day and all the processing required to bump up the sugar concentration

Birch is a Variety of Maple?🙈

No, but believe it or not, they can be tapped for syrup! Birch, walnut, hickory, and even elm! The sugar content of the sap is much less than maples. Happy sugaring!
