The best explanation of the equipment yet

Starting to feel guilty about my bed time😂 you all are amazing

[@w.s.2102]

That’s a really impressive set up 👍

[@MapleFarmer]

Thanks so much! We’ve worked hard to get here.

[@normanpaterson]

I collected 5 gallons of sap and boiled it down over a fire, took all day and only had enough syrup for two servings of pancakes! I have so much respect for your operation! Thanks for sharing

[@manbearpig8691]

Lot of things to watch and do to keep the wheels on the wagon. Massive gallons per man hour, but requires full attention. No room for big mistakes. So much different than my little hobby production. Thanks for another great video Nikki.

[@jeremymia4949]

Nice maple Farmer story...

[@dennisglocke7218]

Great videos! My wife and I really enjoy watching how your tree to finished syrup operating Flows. We put our syrup in bulk storage containers and bottle or process as needed. Love the "Shanty" Our season here in Central Wisconsin has been so so slow. Stay safe!

[@MapleFarmer]

Thanks for watching Brian!

[@allartvogelesang316]

You might want to mention that the reason you monitor the temperature as a proxy for sugar content is that as the syrup gets more concentrated, the boiling temperature goes correspondingly higher. It might be illustrative to stick a thermometer in the other stages in the evapourator pan to show the temp higher in each successive stage. Thanks for the videos, very interesting to see how high-tech the business has become.

[@MapleFarmer]

I have so many video idea but it's hard to do when I'm working since I have to focus on making maple syrup and can't focus on video content! :(

[@johntaylor4695]

That building is OUTSTANDING! It makes the CDL look small. When are you switching over to steam boiling and what do you use for fuel for that system? Also would love to see the R.O. Room in operation

[@ericwiitala5407]

The entire operation from sap collection, to boiling/filtering to final product is amazing. Great video. You looking forward to turkey season? Dumb question, I know you are. Lol!! 😁

The clean up is the worst part as there is so much to do

[@donaldfoltz4649]

I watched my uncle make maple syrup back in the late 1940’s, he’d run the hot syrup through a heavy cloth bag then it would be canned. Not quite the same process today where purity is the highest priority. Thanks for a interesting and informative video.

[@MapleFarmer]

[@finallyfriday.]

Some data on composition of the syrup would be very interesting.

[@captainawesome5560]

Love the videos, keep em coming! You might have already explained it but how does the weather and temperature effect the sap? Also I received my order from you guys and It is amazing, this was my first taste of 100% real maple syrup and I will never go back! All I can say is Aunt Jemima is gonna have to step up her game and lose about a hundred ingredients to even be in the same conversation as you guys. If anyone has the means I highly recommend picking some up, it is so choice 👌

[@paulcumber4732]

wow that a lot of work

[@moses777exodus]

Amazing. I wonder if it is possible to make syrup out of any other trees, or only just Maples. Best wishes.

My wife LOVES maple syrup. I just ordered her a gallon for her birthday.

[@johndhead1]

I'll also ask. What type of "fuel" do you use?

[@MapleFarmer]

Diesel fuel

[@charlesb4267]

I am speculating that due to cost increases such as the fuel oil used to run the evaporator and fuel in the truck to haul the sap and pretty much everything else around costing more, the price of maple syrup is on its way up as well ?

[@MapleFarmer]

Yes, I’ve been hearing some people say they are expecting it to double in price 😳
