Bacteria would make it have a richer maple flavor? I knew 11 days was stretching it but I thought I had read that I should boil it within 2 weeks so I thought I'd be good. I guess that even if it...

Today I finished my second small run. I started 11 days ago when I boiled down another 12 gallons and refrigerated the sap until I could finish it today. This time I noticed that the sap I pulled...

I found a recipe online, made up some batter, scorched the first 4 pancakes and ended up making about 4 good ones. The syrup tasted great on them.

I dont know much about cooking. My wife said she didn't have the stuff to make pancakes. Whether she makes them from scratch or whatever I don't know. All I know is I'm not having pancakes.

Got me some stainless steam pans and boiled down 12 gallons today. I filtered it before final boil and filtered it again afterwards. I got about 1.25 quarts. It tastes really good and is very...

I tapped a maple in the yard a few days ago and it's been producing well. But yesterday temps did not rise above freezing and aren't expect to until sunday. When I collect the sap yesterday I...

That's cool. I live just outside of Morgantown. When I got home yesterday I discovered my catch jug had tipped over and I lost the sap. Urghh! So I learned what not to do. I reset the jug and...

I checked my Lowe's and they only had the blue non food grade buckets. But I hadn't thought of Tractor supply. That's a good idea. I'll check there.

On my way home I stopped at a local bakery. ...

Thanks!

I didn't realize Wal Mart sold food grade buckets. I was going to get some from Lowe's because they had a #2 on the bottom. But I then read that the blue Lowe's buckets aren't...

Technically this will be my second time if you take into account that pint of sap I boiled down into a few tablespoons last year. It tasted delicious so this year I bought a dozen spiles and plan to...

I'm new to maple tapping and I'm also from Mon county. I ordered a dozen taps and tapped a tree yesterday just to try it out. I'll be interested to see if I have any sap tonight when I get home...
