Product Description
Something Sweet is About to Happen!
Tapping Time!
Sap starts running when the temperatures drop below freezing at night but rise above freezing during the day. This generally occurs between mid-January and late March (depending on where you live). Once the time is right, you only need to drill a 1.5” hole, insert the spile, and collect the sap! The spiles stay in the tree for the season which usually lasts about two to three weeks until the trees bud out. Definitely a short but sweet few weeks!
Boiling Time!
Sap is mostly water which needs to be evaporated away to get to yummy pure maple syrup. Typical yield is 40-to-1 so 40 gallons of sap will boil down to one gallon of syrup. Most people use an outdoor cooker fueled by propane or wood. Each little droplet of steam has sugar in it so this job is not one you'll want to do in your kitchen!
Filtering and Bottling
During boiling, sap is filtered midway through at about 216°F and then one final time at 219°F. This removes sugar sand and creates a clear, better tasting syrup. After this final filter, syrup can be bottled in canning jars or bottles. There is no additional processing (such as hot water bath) necessary. Pure maple syrup can be stored indefinitely on the shelf but once opened should be refrigerated and used within 3 months.
Time to Enjoy!
Pure maple syrup is one of nature's oldest treats and you'll be able to make it yourself, right at home! Sugarmaking is a great family winter activity filled with lots of hands-on science and nature education for the kids. And, of course, the sweet reward of pure maple syrup can't be beat. We hope you'll try this fun hobby and join our sugarmaking community!

The instructions and the book are great and the equipment just worked exactly like they said it would. So fun. These three buckets are all you need to collect enough sap to keep a pot boiling for a few weeks. The yield on three taps could be close to 45 gallons of sap or a little over a gallon of syrup if you used my trees. Love it thanks!!

The directions were clear, the steps were easy, it came with everything except for a heating source. Couldn't ask for a better start up kit and I got syrup at the end that was delicious!
