trackbiker Posted February 21, 2020 Report Posted February 21, 2020 How much syrup do you get out of 8 gallons? How long does it take to boil down? Quote
C1erArt Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Posted February 21, 2020 How much syrup do you get out of 8 gallons? How long does it take to boil down?Not much. It is at best 40 to 1 ratio, but I have mostly silver or swamp maples, not sugar maples, so it is more like 70 or 80 to one. So maybe 4 ounces. Maybe 10 hours boiling time. But I keep adding to it and bottle 2 or 3 times a season. I usually get just a gallon or so per season with 10 taps. I go through a half dozen 20 pound bottles of propane. It it keeps me busy. Quote
C1erArt Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Posted February 21, 2020 Ya know, this would be a great addition to Sausage Sunday Brunch...Bacon soaked in maple syrup, the best. Have to be careful it doesn’t burn when cooking it. 2 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 21, 2020 Report Posted February 21, 2020 Two years ago I received a gallon of Dakin farms Vermont maple syrup from a supplier and I gave it to Root. He said he likes to add a little bit to his coffee. I don’t think I’ve ever had the real maple syrup. Just the aunt jemima stuff. Quote

I don't even think it has maple syrup in it. Probably just corn syrup. Quote

A coworker does this over the winter. Says you wont get rich, or have an endless supply of syrup. Says the same thing, “keeps him busy” Quote
toast21602 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Posted February 22, 2020 I love a good maple syrup. For Christmas my BIL got me a bottle of bourbon barrel aged Vermont maple syrup that was aged in bourbon barrels that were used to age Hill Farmstead beers. I don't know if it should go in the food thread, beer thread, or maple syrup thread, but I have been putting it on my oatmeal in the morning and it is divine. 2 Quote

NMSKI Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 One of my favorite homemade wing sauces is 1/2 maple syrup 1/2 sriracha. Sounds weird but it's delicious and sticks to the wings nicely. 3 Quote

C1erArt Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Posted March 15, 2020 Just finished up maple syruping. Season ended a little early. 44 gallons of sap gave about 80 ounces of syrup, about a 70 to 1 ratio. 65 pounds of propane later:(Used some leftover labels from 5 years ago) 6 Quote
