Anyone here tap maples? * 6
    #28666738 - 02/19/24 11:30 AM (4 months, 4 days ago)



I had about 40 buckets last year, got some pretty good yields.






I'm pretty busy this year and the weather has been so crazy I'm not sure if I'll tap or not maybe only 5 or 10 buckets just to get the taste back. It's a lot of work but it's delicious and I enjoy gifting it to friends and family.

Anyone else?

Plenty of silver birch around my parts, I tapped some trees a few years ago. I didn't boil the sap down but used it as some nice smooth drinking velvet water, very refreshing I thought.

Ah cool man. I heard boiling birch sap is even more labour intensive than maple. Yield is something like 100:1 eh?

Maple liqueurs something fierce when tapped just right.

Ain't that right, Ace?

Take a 1 litre mason jar

Fill it up with maple sap

Drop 2 teabags in, I used green tea

Leave it in the fridge 24 hours

Taste like Arizona ice tea

This the most Canadian post i ever saw. Do you just do it on crown land? Or do you own those trees? Are there laws about where you can tap?

I asked the future god of the internet, so it looks like approximately half as much sugar in the birch sap than the maple sap. Half the reward for the same amount of work. But it says the flavour is a lot different, so maybe be worth trying to make some birch syrup for a different experience?

I have 11 acres and my neighbor has 20, I tap on my property and some on his (with his permission). You can tap on crown land but you need a permit from the MNR (ministry of natural resources). There are so rules like how many taps per trees, etc.

Maybe worth a try, apparently the taste isn't as sweet, it's more of a savory flavor used in cooking a lot of the time.

Ended up putting out 20 buckets yesterday, got a hell of a warm snap, took my son out to check them this afternoon some where overflowing. Over 50L in one day from 20 bucks, amazing haul, will be boiling this weekend.

Man this sounds amazing.

That’s the dream right there haha, maple farmer.

Tapped a red maple I used to have in my back yard a few times..delicious to drink and made delicious syrup.

Always wanted to tap birch..one day.

It's a fun hobby for sure with delicious rewards. I do enough to have a year supply for myself, and give the rest to friends and family.

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon. I had 5 litres of birch sap in the freezer from the last time collected some.

I am thawing it out now by the stove, and going to boil it down to see what the birch syrup tastes like.

As per Wikipedia:
The flavor of birch syrup has a distinctive and mineral-rich, caramel-like taste with a hint of spiciness that is not unlike molasses, balsamic condiment, or some types of soy.
Different types of birch will produce slightly different flavour profiles; some more copper, others with hints of wildflower honey. While birch syrup has the same sugar content of maple, it is darker, stronger, and more complex.

I did it anyways, I boiled 5 L of birch sap down to ~15 mL of syrup, so that's about 333L:1L (sap:syrup), not a huge return at all :shocked2:
But it does taste different to maple syrup and it does taste good, it has a stronger flavour than maple syrup, it is sweet, not getting spiciness, and it reminds me of liquid malt extract more than anything. I was watching videos earlier where people described the taste of their birch syrup as bitter, but there is no bitterness to the syrup I made. It smells nice too; my brother didn't know what I was making and walked into the room as it was close to end, and he said it smelled good, so there's an unbiased fresh nosed take on it too.
