Syrup is made by boiling down sap. Sap is made of around 98% water and 2% sugars. The water is boiled away until the sugar content becomes 66%. So a LOT of water needs to boil off before it becomes syrup. It takes 42 parts of sap to create 1 part syrup. In order to do this you’re going to need a few things:
Tapping
1. Drill– The drill is for drilling a hole into your tree to insert the tap into. 2. Drill Bit– This has to be the same size as your tap. 3. Tap (spile)– This is what you tap into the tree for your sap to drip out of. 4. Hook– The hook is on the tap and it allows you to hang your bucket off of it. 5. Bucket– A bucket catches the sap. Duh. 6. Bucket lid– You need this to keep debris from falling into your bucket of fresh, clear, beautiful sap.
Boiling & bottling
1. Stock pot– A big stock pot with a lid to constantly heat up your sap. 2. Shallow roasting pan – It needs to be at least 5″ deep with a large surface area. This is known as your evaporation pan. 3. A propane outdoor burneror fire pit / rocket stove. 4. A digital or manual refractometer or a hydrometeror hydrotherm. (for testing syrup consistency) 5. A digital thermometer 6. Syrup filters 7. Syrup bottles
So what is the magical maple syrup tree? It's just a maple. Any maple. Sugar maples are the most popular tree for making syrup because they have the highest sugar content in their sap but ANY maple will produce perfect maple syrup. Maple sap has between 1-3% sugar in it (sucrose, fructose and glucose). Don’t worry about whether your maple tree is t...
Do NOT tap a maple tree that is less than 10″ across. (not around … across) Anything with a trunk that’s smaller than 10″ is too young and tapping it could kill it. If your tree is 10 – 20″ – you can put 1 tap on it If your tree is 20 – 27″ – you can put 2 taps on it If your tree is 27+ (and healthy) – you can put 3 taps on it (some say to never pu...
In the spring … 1. Clean your sap buckets well with a light bleach solution before using them to prevent bacteria. 2. Do nottap a tree that’s less than 10″ across. 3. You can tap once nighttime temperatures are below freezing and daytime temperatures are above freezing. 4. Drill a hole in your tree with a 7/16ths drill bit at a slightly upward angl...
You need to tap the maple tree when the “sap is flowing”. I’m sure you’ve heard that phrase before. So when does sap flow? Sap flows in the early springwhen nighttime temperatures are below freezing and daytime temperatures are above freezing. A 7°C difference in the temperature range between night and day is ideal. For you Americans, that’s a 12°F...
Turning sap into syrup is just a matter of boiling away the water until you're left with a high concentration of maple tasting syrup.
When it's boiling temperature is 219°F. Syrup always boils at 7.1°F (3.94°C) abovethe boiling point of water. When you reach that temp., you have syrup. Water boils at 212 °F. So sap reaches 219°Fwhile it's boiling, it's officially syrup. To calculate your syrup boiling point, boil a pot of water and check the temperature. Add 7.1°Fto that number a...
