Tapping Maple Trees For Homemade Organic Maple Syrup
Read detailed article: http://www.thedoityourselfworld.com/articles/article.php?id=11297
Monday way sunny and warm so I dedicated the day to tapping maple trees to make my own maple syrup. I hope to become self sufficient within a couple years and this means producing all of my own needs. Sugar is a very important part of our lives. Maple sugar is all natural, organic and good for you.
Maple syrup and maple sugar, in their pure unprocessed form, are actually healthy for you. These are products of nature. Of course as with anything from nature we must keep it within limits or it can become bad for you. Anything in excess is bad for you.
I hauled out all my maple tapping supplies and tools and headed off into the wood line to tap my trees.
I have rubber tubing, taps, T adapters, buckets and water jugs. The only tool you need is a drill and an optional rubber mallet for pounding in the taps.
I first set up the taps with tubing so that when I drill a hole into the tree, I am ready to shove in the tap and start collecting maple sap right away with no loss of the valuable liquid.
Some trees were larger so I was able to put two taps into them. Larger trees can handle multiple taps. Please see the article link above for full details.
For smaller trees with single taps I used one gallon water jugs. These are food grade jugs and work perfectly for the job.
For the larger taps and double trees I used a food grade 5 gallon bucket with a lid.
The lids are important to keep out debris and insects. After a few days of warmer weather the moths come out and they seem to love maple sap. They drown in the buckets if you have no lids on them.
That is why the taps have tubing on the ends running into a closed container.
Follow my daily progress on the path to self sufficiency on my off grid solar homestead.
