Maple Syrup Time

We Tapped our Maple trees last Friday.  With the warm up sap will be flowing.  It take about 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of Maple syrup.   I am optimistic we can get more than enough sap to make a big batch of Maple syrup for a pancake breakfast.

Placing spile into tree

 Installed spile

Big trees can have up to 3 taps.  We use tubing for big tree to condense sap to one bucket 

Smaller trees we hang buckets on spile.
