- This has been the warmest winter that I can ever remember in Minnesota. Typically we're tapping in March, sometimes even in April! I'm a little worried!

THANK YOU for being here!!
You are so lucky to have maple trees on your property. I have zero maple trees here. Question how much different does home made maple syrup taste verses store bought? Thanks for sharing the process of tapping a maple tree very interesting indeed.
One thing to look at if buying "maple syrup" from the store, it needs to say 100%pure maple syrup on the label, because most brands are actually maple flavored corn syrup and not even maple syrup at all. And the taste is like night and day!
We are so thankful for the few that we have!!! Not very many, but just enough 💫. It depends on if you’re comparing it to real maple syrup at the store vs the artificially flavored corn syrup imitation product. The difference between those two are night and day!
❤👍very interesting, especially the old vehicles. Cant wait too see what you end up with.❤✌
You and me both!
Good morning from Forest lake Minnesota! Great episode!
Good morning, Pat!! Thank you! ☺️
Very interesting! I've been wanting to try this. I have a huge maple tree in our front yard here in Missouri.Thanks for the video👍🏻
Go for it! It’s such a fun activity for winter ☺️
THANKS,
Mid/south Minnesota here small maple trees so hopefully in a few years! Neighbors are busy tapping theirs though!
Hopefully they grow quickly so you can give it a go! ☺️
North of Bemidji here. Still have snow. My trails are iced over. No maple trees. A couple of birch trees though.🤠
You are a bit further north than we are! Are you going to tap your birch trees?
Wasn't planning to...but you got me thinking! 🤠
I think that’s a Ball Peen hammer, I think it’s used for chiseling or blacksmithing.
That makes sense!
I heard birch sap is worth collecting for syrup. But it might be 80:1, so twice as much per gallon.
NW MN, & not a maple region. I wish it was.
I’d love to try it! It sounds like the birch sap season comes after the maple sap season (typically April), so it’s not ready yet.
Thanks for taking us along on this tapping. My husband and I have recently thought of trying to tap some of our maples. Do you have any good references to recommend?
How exciting!! The tapping kit that I use (geni.us/AmazonMapleSyrup) comes with an educational book - that’s what I’ve been using to learn!
@@thehomesteadingrd Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it
Can you tap all kinds of maple trees or just certain kinds?
You can tap any maple tree (and even other trees like birch and walnut), but some varieties produce a higher sugar concentration in their sap than others, which means less time needed to boil off the excess water
