It's Maple Syrup Time - Tapping Trees and Boiling Sap

We had a fun time tapping maple trees, gathering sap and boiling it down to syrup. The evaporator is old fashioned and wood fired. We do some silly stuff, but there’s information too. This was something different so let me know what you think. -Devon

Thank you! We devoured that after a long day in the woods haha. So maple candy is made by boiling it down a bit more than syrup, beating it with a mixer, and pouring it into molds to cool.

[@fredhoy6697]

That was interesting. How much sap can you get from each tree and using your system, how do you know? Also, do you plug all the holes afterward?

[@klinefarms4815]

That’s a good question! When figuring that we count taps not tree’s. Some tree’s have two or more taps on them. It also depends on the weather and season, how much a tap could produce each run. The run in this video we averaged 1.7 gallons of sap per tap. Last year for the whole season we averaged 1/5 of a gallon of syrup per tap. No we do not plug holes the tree heals itself on it’s own.

[@coryanderson7581]

so much depends on weather and size of tree. You are going to need to tap a few to get syrup is what I would say.

cant u jusst boil it down till it thickens a bit and starts to darken? i just wanna do a lil bit with my daughter to try it..do i really need a hydrometer to do it?

[@HomegrownPassion]

Sure. when we first started, we used to boil small batches in a turkey roaster in the driveway. Boil it down as much as you think then transfer the syrup into a pan and finish off on the stove. Only advice is don't boil too much in the house. The steam and the sticky residue is not good for the inside of your house.

@@HomegrownPassion thanku..the turkey fryer is exactly what i planned on using..why does everyone seem to use a pan instead of a pot? is it necessary ? if so could i use a basic aluminum throw away pan or would the flame on the stove burn through that or burn the syrup? thanx for your advice

1.) Will the tree repair itself when a person drills a hole into the tree? 2.) Does drilling at an upward angle help the sap run any better? 3.) How deep of a hole is needed, especially in a Pine tree? 4.) Can a person visit the farm and learn first-hand how to tap a tree - in a way that it will not cause permanent damage to the tree?

[@HomegrownPassion]

We only tap maple trees. The hole is 5/16 and only drilled about a 1.5 into the tree. Hole never drilled in the same spot from the year before. The tree heals itself very quickly. If you have some maple trees on our property... tap them and have fun!

Does that kill the trees?

[@klinefarms4815]

It can if a tree is tapped to young or has to many taps put on in a season. Making maple syrup goes back to Native Americans and if done right won’t harm the tree’s life span.

[@scouterandrew8888]

It’s supposed to help if you drill north south east west every following year, then move to a higher level. When you return to the low level the tree should be and inch or so thicker and healed. 3/16 tubes also heal quicker than 5/16

[@HomegrownPassion]

No we definitely don’t want to do that. They follow good practices and make sure their taps are clean and they only tap trees that are big enough to heal themselves. There’s a guide on how many taps can go on a tree based on diameter and they stay on the conservative side.
