- Join master maple syrup producer Henry Whitener and University of Missouri Extension field specialist Patrick Byers for a discussion of home maple syrup production. Learn about the entire process, from selecting trees to tapping to boiling sap to bottling to pouring on your pancakes! #2xAG2030 #ExtendMU #PatrickByers
This is a great video. I love the setup for boiling down the sap. I'm getting ready to make my first syrup from a friend's sap, and I think he may get something like this made for his small operation!
BUT - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE always wash new jars! It's too risky not too and it only takes a few minutes to do so. Remember this is FOOD your are bottling. No such thing as too many precautions against contamination.
Big thanks from Québec Canada 🇨🇦
This video was incredible!
My bigleaf maple trees here in Northwest Washington are at about 1.8% sugar. I've been making syrup for 4 years now. I only have about 40 taps in so I don't get that mutch syrup, but it's fun to do.
Great job 👏
I loved watching this process!
That guy is gangster storing sap in a plastic storage bin 😂
People are oblivious to the Dangers of plastic
Thank you!
I like this and want to try my hand at this.
I have a lot of Mountain Maples on my property, but I don't know if that is classed as "soft" or "hard" Maples.
according to wikipedia: “The sap is a source of sugar and can be boiled to make maple syrup. The bark contains tannins, which are used in tanning leather. Indigenous peoples infused the piths of young twigs to produce treatments for eye irritation and made poultices from boiled root chips. It is also said to be used to relieve stress in humans.[6] The wood has been a popular choice for making musical instruments because of its high strength and durability.”
One question. How many trees did you all tap? Also, thank you for this wonderful video.
Henry and Linda, brilliant video. I would like to know how much syurp you got from this batch of sap.? Also would it be acceptable to leave the tap permanently in the tree closed off similar to a water mains tap?
does it thicken up as it sits in the jars?
Blue bag is 4 gal.
Big Thanks
wow❤
stainless steel don't rust
Don't put your dipping bucket on the ground and then back in the sap tote. Not mention your dirty hands were on the bottom of the bucket as well. Could save yourself a lot of filtering.
How about sugar haha
your fingers aren't clean...shouldnt touch the rim of the bottle
My god this was brutal to watch. So many wrongs in this vid.
And yet he ends up with syrup. There isn't "the" way to do it. There may be your way but it's the journey and how it ends and was he happy.
