At this time I am not boiling my Fall Sap. Last fall I boiled some and the taste is great. There really is no difference except a slight carmel taste is what I noticed. There are other Traders that have posted fall syrup as being the same as spring syrup. I have been experimenting on Fall Tapping for two years now. What I have found was the smaller trees do not produce enough sap to make it worth your while. Although the bigger trees seem to run very good and my sugar is testing 1.8% so far this Fall. The same big trees test 2.5+ in the spring. I do plan to tap a few hundred trees in the Fall starting next season just for fun. If you have some spare trees that you can tap in the fall it could be a lot of fun for your family. The trees I plan to tap in the fall do not get tapped in the spring. These trees are in an area that would require major sap ladders in the spring. In the Fall though I can gather the sap with my 4-wheeler but still have these trees on high vacuum. I plan to run a mini releaser to these trees. I am not doing this for the money but just for some fall time fun.Originally Posted by rgmaple
