“No more trudging through the snow from tree to tree.” Shows a guy next frame trudging through the snow

[@dzlf2504]

BusterBuizel yes but that's only a one time thing when your tapping. Or if you have a air leak you have to go back to a tee. If you have buckets you have to go tree to tree every day maybe twice a day. We run a 30000 tap sugar bush. I wouldn't want to dump those buckets everyday.

[@BusterBuizel]

@@dzlf2504 I know, I just find hilarity in the one time irony

[@dzlf2504]

BusterBuizel true I understand. It's all good thought it was funny too.👍

[@gtbkts]

My first thought too. Lmao. " Atleast you only need a plastic hammer and a cordless drill now" was my second thought. "And you probably couldn't automate that job" was my third thought. Made me chuckle endlessly.

[@ijulesy]

Now I realise why it costs so much (in the UK at least), a lot of intensive work to make it!

[@barbarahammer9037]

how much the maple syrup cost in the uk??

[@ijulesy]

For a small bottle of the good stuff it can cost over £5 ($6.50)

[@Bob_Smith]

Yeah it’s this much in the U.S also if you get the real kind. not Aunt Jemima’s maple flavored syrup.

[@swei970724]

well it cost 1800 dollar per barrel hahhaha

[@catrinad2491]

Plus 4 litres of sap to make 1 litre of maple is pretty bad proportion wise.

[@definitely-not-a-bot]

"gently insert the nozzle." *TAPS IT WITH A HAMMER*

[@definitely-not-a-bot]

@@KW-yr2tr no one's thanking you.. cause it was a joke. Do I need to explain it to you? Ok so the nice man said he g e n t l y inserte the nozzle. I made my text bold for comedic effect and said **TAPS IT WITH HAMMER**. See, the joke is that it's contradictory. You can't be gentle with a hammer cause the whole idea behind a hammer is using weight and force to jam something into something so it'll stick. No need to thank me.

[@sk33zz5]

I once tapped birch trees thinking it would make maple syrup. I was 10 and my family has never let that down to this day

[@mlgsamantha5863]

Fun fact: It's possible to make syrup out of birch sap as well as maple.

[@Wolfyd-ug8cz]

Im making homemade syrup right now! We use sap buckets because it's really fun and it's what we've always used. We don't sell, but I do have to say that it's better to make your own. I've noticed hardly anyone who makes syrup will boil it down enough. The less you boil it the more you can get, but it won't be as sweet. Crystalized syrup is so good too! It's basically rock candy 😍

What's flannel? which part of maple is that?

3:25 .........I don’t even want to imagine how sticky that room is.

[@masterofpuppets5072]

How the hell can it be sticky

[@thomashansen871]

You would think it is bad, due to all the steam, but they actually pull the steam out through hoods. Some areas may get sticky, but it isnt as bad as you think. I make syrup every year on a much smaller scale and do not have a steam hood setup, nor is my stuff sticky.

[@88Timur88Bahmudov88]

@@thomashansen871 since you are making syrup i have a question about this video - they said the maple sap is 2.5 percent sugar and that you need 40 liters of it to make the syrup, but it can't be true since 2.5 percent sugar means 25 grams of it per liter, if you multiply it by 40 you get 1000g of sugar which means you'll get pure sugar, not a syrup. So the question is - how much sap do you really need to make 1 liter of maple syrup? P.s. I've just read that maple syrup is 67% sugar and 33% water, so it should take about 26 liters of sap to make 1 liter of maple syrup - is it right?

I'm a syrup man, if you have a tree and I have a tree and my tap reaches all the way over here I drink your maple syrup

[@gabeshaw3721]

I’m a bit of a maple syrup snob. I can’t stand breakfast syrup, and I don’t even eat maple syrup from the store. I pretty much only eat stuff that my dad makes or from small scale operations. The multiple pasteurizations that they do for store bought syrup really fucks up the flavor, and if you’ve never had maple syrup that’s only been boiled once when it was made and never again, you have no idea what you’re missing.

[@georgemicah4636]

I don't regret searching for this, I didn't even know there was something called Mapple tree in my head I thought it was made from apples and sugar I have never tasted it before so I guess I just assumed a lot of things about it. Thank you for the helpful video we learn everyday.

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

I remember doing it the traditional way. We did it for fun in my friends garden.

[@wildlifewarrior2670]

You did your friend for fun in his garage

[@AllanAdamson]

every year we'd make maple syrup on my grandfather's land.. such great memories.. he had about 80 acres & we'd tap various trees out in the woods.. & then process it in one of his large sheds.. he had a big wood burning furnace in the one shed.. you could literally park a John Deere A in there... with room to spare..

So does the sap trickle down the tube or is it pumped or sucked through them?

[@nevermore7285]

Considering how well it works with the buckets, I’d imagine it doesn’t need to be pumped.

[@maxlown363]

at the end of winter when temperatures rise above freezing during the day, the trees produce carbondioxide gas which produces pressure inside the tree which pushes the sap out of a drilled hole. I tap a thousand trees to make maple syrup in Michigan

What does he mean by industrial use syrup

What is the industrial use application of Maple Syrup? I assume that means it is used in other mass produced food items like Twinkies and Pop Tarts for example. Is this a correct assumption and if not, what exactly is the lower grade stuff used for?
