Thanks for this - Here in Vermont, (the largest Maple producer in the Nation) we use miles of vacuum lines to suck the sap from the trees into a 1000+ gallon container. When the arch is fired up, it needs attended all night (before the sap goes stale). Several chords of firewood may be burned. The steam from the sugarhouse can be seen from a mile away. Many sugarmakers offer free pancakes to any visitors who wish to trapse thru the ankle-high mud.

This brings back some memories. As a youngster I lived in northwest Ohio. One year our class, probably second or third grade, took a field trip to a maple syrup farm and got to see the process and sample the result. It also reminds me a bit of our honey operation - my father was a beekeeper and I was pressed into service in all aspects of it.

We have about another month before we can tap. Would have to check with the local syrup makers but we still have feet of snow on the ground and would have to impressive tools - shoot, just remember, the wife just gave our large canning stuff to the niece. Hum, maybe if I start now by next year I might be ready. "Oh bother Chorister Robin" yet another project.

I've never seen bags used before. Very interesting. I have a nice traditional galvanized bucket I use I bought from a sugar camp in 2013. It was one that leaked. But I fixed that and I tap my Silver Maple. Not as high of sugar content but it still tastes good.

As a Brit I've never eaten the stuff and this seemed like a lot of faffing around. This was very educational and got me wondering what effect draining this has on the tree.

maple syrup is the best. Forget about that corn syrup crap. If your hard core New England, you might even chug the stuff. That was my younger days. But I still sip the stuff straight. I just love maple syrup. I am moving back to Vermont so I hope to be there for the next season. Planning on running 600 taps or spiles.

Brings back memories. My Grandpa had quite a few trees on his property that he tapped. I was in school and he lived too far away to go during the week to help. On the weekend my folks would take me to the Grandparents and I would help with the boiling down. He had a long pan that we kept a wood fire burning under for the first stage. The final stages were done in house. Nothing better than maple syrup on pancakes!

Guess that in some places bears may be a problem, or are they hibernating at this time? Imagine they'd love the syrup. Anyway family, keep safe.

Reminds me of a tale my late grandmother told me. She and my grandfather went to see some kin up in Maine one year (probably the 50's). They decided they were going to make some Maine syrup. They got them a gallon of sap and came back home. They put it on the electric stove and started boiling. She said it took forever. When they were done, they had like a cup of syrup and about a $100 electric bill.

Hello to the whole family I really liked your video. I have been your youtube for a very long time. I am from Quebec and English is not my mother tongue. I have 550 taps and a small sugar shack. Congrulation for your work in making your own syrup. Your densimeter caught my attention because it is different, here it is 59 Brix the top line to read the density of the hot syrup and 66 at room temperature. I know you do a lot of mechanics but it would be good for you to make yourself a small homemade evaporator, you would need a breakdown 7" in the fire it is just like 24X36 and make the frame underneath in metal ....... Up to you!
