Hi Nikki so very sorry to hear about the year you’ve had so far They’re so tough after all the hard work you put in during and before the season… God willing you’ll make up for it next year…. I can’t get over how darn cute you are… I would watch your channel if you just read a newspaper for a 1/2 an hour 😂😂😂😂 keep your faith….

Early 80's I was at my cousins Jersey Cow farm in Swanton Vermont, he took me over to Highgate Vermont to see a maple farm as it was the first time I saw drain tubes from trees. Their Syrup house was still kinda old school, but still far from bucket collection. It is amazing how far the Syrup production process has come. Thanks to Fergie for showing me that in the old days. I made Syrup from the bucket process on my parents property in the 70's. I grew a huge appreciation of how hard the process is.

I realize the light golden syrup is what you strive for, but give me the late season dark stuff loaded with a strong maple flavor! Diatomaceous earth is also used as aid to rid parasites (externally and internally) for some animals including poultry. I think it is a product made from very finely ground shells from the ocean. . . . Thanks of the interesting video!!

@kevb9578 4 ай бұрын

Yes. Not much flavor in steam pan syrup. Mes steam Evaporators seem better cuz It runs deeper in the pan. I guess consumer will get use to it idk

Thanks for the update video; it was so informative and again reinforces the care and effort that go into making what has become my maple syrup of choice! Here’s hoping for another month of the season, and the best to you the rest of the way ….

Thank you so much, we are hoping the season keeps going but we will find out in the next couple of days if the trees will keep producing!

@frankeem3820 4 ай бұрын

Questions, how many gallons does each side hold? What kind of fuel are you burning inside of your steam generator? Finally, what made you decide on using a mem- protect RO machine as opposed to one of the other manufacturers? You guys have a great Flagship operation their. Again you make me jealous.

Hi Nikki and Warren, Really nice content; educational and totally fun! Thank you! In Rice Lake , WI (NW WI) where we are from, the sap hydrometer is measuring 1.5% - unreal for March 12. Two weeks ago it was 2.2% - it’s the least I have ever seen over 47 years. Typically, we would be seeing 3.5-3.8% sugar content at this time in March. Not sure if this has anything to do with last summer’s drought here or ??? The syrup season could be over for us, too, this week; we, like you, are having warm days/nights currently but we’re also scheduled to get some freezing nights later this week. We’ll see what that does for our maple trees, but I doubt it will change the sap-sugar% much. We’ll still enjoy every minute of the process, though! Best wishes from our place to yours - keep up the great videos!

We're in ENY on a gravity tubing system and I'm pretty sure our season is over, a good 3 weeks early. And we've been boiling since the first week in January, but have only had a few good freezes. What a bizarre year!

I don't know if at your place is the same than here in Québec where I am, but the couple of maple sirop maker that I have talk with. They all told me that this year, it was pretty hard to pass the sirop into the press, they have to change those filters very often, more than normal ...

I understand the need for steam evaporator with your commercial operation, but you dont get the mouth feel of the syrup, in my opinion. Syrup needs to stay in the pan and cook.

Question: Have you ever heard of re-opening tap holes by re drilling 1/8 inch deeper in the same hole?

@BradyNoonan-gq5nj 4 ай бұрын

I have a quick question, how deep do you guys tap your trees? I have about 600 taps and we only made about 40 gallons of syrup this year Most is on high vaccum, I drilled about 1 to 1 1/2 deep and was wondering if that may be my problem?

How long does syrup keep for in a jar

@kbittorf335 4 ай бұрын

I believe producers are now required to date the containers but I don‘t know how long that is for. I just picked up a quart here locally and it has a batch number and a date stamp of 12/2026. Once opened they always say refrigerate. But I never do! If it gets moldy just skim it and heat it up and pour back into the bottle.
