Maple Sap Water
The IMSI has issued recommendations for the standardization of the production of Pure Maple Sap Water - they can be found at the following link:

It will be interesting to see how many producers sell some or all of their production in this raw form.

It looks like a sound set of rules to govern maple (sap) water as a beverage.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Interesting. It's says it should not be bottled like normal water. What does that mean. Does it have to be put in a special container? Is there a special way of bottling it to extend the shelf life. My guess is that you would almost have to treat it like milk. But being pure and not pasteurized it would have a very short shelf life. I would like to know more about this. I don't think I would ever sell maple water, but I would love to know the process of it.
My understanding is that you concentrate about 10X with ro, then the remainder via evaporation. It seems like you could sell the post-ro, pre-boil material as "maple water concentrate." My guess is that the viscosity at this point is such that it readily mixes with water, with minimal stirring, right? "Maple water concentrate" would be an interesting niche.
It states that for it to be "pure" it must not be boiled and be 1-4% brix and that boiling changes the structure of pure maple sap water.
I wonder how it would be carbonated ? My son does that with only a simple set up to water and or water with fruit flavor or minerals. The whole set up cost under $100 and takes only minutes to make a carbonated beverage. Jay

I just tried "Wahta". It has a very light sap flavor, not to bad but the cost was really too high.

What does the package say for ingredients. I would love to know how it's preserved. It has to be stabilized or pasteurized or something to get a shelf life out of it. Does it have an expiry date stamped on it.?
Ingredients say "100 % pure maple water". I would imagine it is flash pasteurized since it has been in the fridge for 6 months, says best before April 5 2016
