Hello from N-B here, I see you finally got yourself 2 pans for boilling, good improvement. I would highly sudjest using a refractometer instead of a thermometer and end your boiling when you are at 67% on the refractometer, beats fighting the steam coming of the boiling pot and it is more accurate.
Wow, that was a marathon! I didn’t realise just how much syrup evaporates during the cooking process. It does explain why it’s so expensive to buy, I’m in England and it’s a real treat whenever I can either find it or afford it! A long process, but as a consumer I do appreciate all the effort you put into the finished product!❤
Nice work everybody! Thank you for taking us through the process. Wow that's some dark and likely very very flavourful syrup!!! Yum!!! God bless this family ❤️🙏🏼
Adding that second pan looks like it really helped with the boiling process. Its also nice to have the kids help and teach them how to do it. Todd from da Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
I find that when your warming pot can trickle a flow into the main pan you never loose the boil and is way less labor intensive...even if you just trickle a cold flow of sap into your pan it wont kill the boil if slow enough
Been waiting to see your operation and it was really fun to watch ! Thanks for posting and congratulations on all your work paying off so well...............m
I do a transfer from the wood stove when the reading on the refractometer is at 50 to 55% and then boil it to 67% on my electric stove to finish it off
At the end of a long day, i like building a big fire and flooding the pan. Let it simmer down all night and leaves a good spot to start the next day. Saves a late night after an already long day.
Nice job guys! Your family is too cute. Has your website gone live yet??? I follow you on IG and want to get a look at your soaps and lip balm. Thanks!
We don’t really use much propane, maybe one tank. The wood doesn’t cost anything but time , there’s a lot of trees down at the cabin. It’s really just time that it “costs”
For a family that's learning as you go, you're doing a great job. Thanks for sharing.
We’re making changes each year as we go! Glad you enjoyed it 🍁
I am from the South and have never seen that process. Very impressive!

It’s definitely very time consuming which explains the price haha 🍁
Usually it’s just two of you, or one of you 😀 You brought your kids along this time, awesome! + free labor 😅
They enjoy doing syrup 🍁

It certainly is very flavourful! Glad you enjoyed the video 🍁
Love it. Great video!
True Canadian ritual
Sure is! 🍁
The weather sure is nicer than last year for your syrup boiling! Amazing harvest👍
The weather is much better this season! 🍁

The second pan was so helpful in speeding up the process!
The kids will treasure those memories for the rest of their lives 😊 well done guys!
They do enjoy doing syrup! 🍁
Love it!! You guys are so inspiring!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 🍁
Take a panel/one tarp down. Need air flow from the bottom to make an up draft
We have an air gap at the front of the fire where the panel is already. Thanks for watching!
Wow! Looks like the snow dissapeared in a hurry! Weve been south for the winter to avoid it, looks like its time to come home. Thanks for posting!
It’s been very mild this year!
Wow, that looks great! Great set up.

Excellent and I enjoyed it 🎉
If you have a gas leaf blower and aim it at the fire you will get a much hotter fire. Just need it to idle or just above idle. Your doing a great job
Been waiting to see your operation and it was really fun to watch ! Thanks for posting and congratulations on all your work paying off so well...............m
Glad you enjoyed it!

We really enjoyed your channel. You may have said and I missed it but what are you doing with all the syrup? Thank you for sharing your story.
We keep enough for ourselves for the year and the sell the rest! 🍁
Have you folks ever boiled it down all the way to a sugar or candy? My grandfather used to make some for us many years ago. Yum!
We are making maple sugar this season!
Nice job guys! Your family is too cute. Has your website gone live yet??? I follow you on IG and want to get a look at your soaps and lip balm. Thanks!
Website will be live this morning at 0900! 😃
I haven't seen you use your hydrometer yet!!!
What do you use to test your finished syrup. A refractometer or a hydrometer. Or just guess. Nice video
Thermometer and a refractor but also I can tell by looking at it now haha 🍁
50 Litres of sap makes how much syrup? Thanks for taking us along
40L of sap to 1L of finished syrup! 🍁
🍁🖐😎👍
The amount of work, propane, wood - is it cheaper than store bought?
Ofc added value that it's home made. And I rather do that + the fun of 'camping'.
