RE: Time To Make The Syrup, Tapping Trees and Boiling Sap
That is quite fascinating and we can learn with you as you go.I had no idea how much sap actually comes out of the Maple trees and it is quite substantial. I take it you are boiling the water out and making it into a thick syrup. If you had 5 gallons how much syrup do you end up with after the boiling process? Is it a small amount or quite a bit?
the standard saying is 40 gallons of sap will boil down to 1 gallon of syrup. It seem that sap from different trees can be slightly different but that is about the ratios for it
