Ya every one loves it here that is some fine stuff I can see why you would work so hard for that 40 to 1 ratio its great!

 

[AAASTINKIE]

Don't forget to refrigerate your syrup after opening, it won't go bad ever but mold can grow on it, if it does just bring it to a boil and skim off the bad stuff and put it back in a clean container.

Hey AAA, what a nice surprise to come home to! You certainly have a lot of energy and have interesting AND productive hobbies. Thanks so much for the syrup. I'll try to reciprocate with something unique from Michigan. Thanks again. I have a lot of catch up reading on this site to do.

I finally got around to bottling the 5 gallons of syrup I was saving for Christmas today.

The quart jars are some chicken soup I made and canned for my daughter,
the first syrup are tiny glass jugs for children, they are hard to
fill, but are really nice. I found a case up in the attic.

I hung 102 buckets yesterday, even though I have the flue, can't be
dilly-dadlin when it's sugar time, sick will have to wait. I'll take my
camera today, it's easy this year, no snow on the ground!!

I to, Hope your feeling better stinky and would love to see pictures of your maple syrup process. When I was a kid in upstate NY, we had family that made their own syrup and it was wonderfull, when I got older (8), my brother and I would go out and collect the sap (water) from the trees and try to make our own......... Man I miss those days......

I hung 160 more buckets today, with the flue it feels like someone beat me up..lol

 

[AAASTINKIE]

Someone asked how do you get the sap?



You drill a 7/16/' hole 2 1/2" deep and tap in a spile:

I use a battery drill till the batteries go dead (about 70 holes) then I use the gas drill.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

If it's warm like today the sap will be dripping out right away:

 

[AAASTINKIE]

Driil a hole in a few primary fermenters and hang them on...lol
