I have been watching and reading posts about making maple syrup for a few years. Thought I'd give it a try.
I live right on the Mason-Dixon Line, just to give you an idea of my location.
Had 14+ inches of snow last week. Then the days started warmng above 40 with nights falling below freezing.
I tapped 10 hard rock maple and collected a little over 30 gallons of sap in 6 days.
I don't have a evaporator, just used my Turkey fryer to cook the sap down. Well, two 15 lb. tanks of propane later and finishing off the syrup on the electric stove. I got 2 1/2 pints of syrup after filtering.
The last 1/2 pint was what I would call the 'Bottoms', kinda cloudy. Temp of the syrup was 219-220.
Anyway, I now fully appreciate what you sugaring guys do and understand how much work and care you do to make your product!
