I usually consider it a good season if I can get a litre per tap. Maple syrup is produced by boiling water from the maple sap, concentrating it into a sweet syrup.
Sugar content depends upon many variables, including the type of tree, weather conditions, and if the sap is collected early or late in the flow season. The sugar content in the sap of a Sugar Maple tree can fluctuate between 1. The general rule of thumb is that it takes 40 parts maple sap to produce 1 part maple syrup. This translates into 40 gallons of sap to produce 1 gallon or syrup or 10 gallons of sap for one quart of syrup.
This estimate is dependent on the sugar content of your sap. This is dependent upon many factors, but you can generally expect to collect 5 — 15 gallons of sap per tap per season. Sap flow is caused by pressure difference within the tree when the temperature fluctuates. Nighttime temperatures below freezing and daytime temperatures above freezing create pressure conditions ideal for sap flow.
A maple tree should be at least 12 inches in diameter before tapping it. Larger trees can support multiple taps. For example, trees inches in diameter can support 2 taps and trees greater than 27 inches in diameter can support 3 taps. While this guide focuses on maple trees, other types of trees can be tapped. For example, Birch and Walnut trees can be tapped and will yield a sweet sap. These trees are not generally used in commercial production of syrup because the sugar content is lower, which would result in higher expenses.
Alaska, where maple trees do not grow, has a thriving Birch sap industry. Different regions grade maple syrup differently. Within the US, there are slight differences in grading standards, but between the US and Canada, the grades are substantially different. The US grading system contains the following grades:.
The grades correspond to the point in the season the syrup was produced. Grade A Light Amber utilizes sap from the earliest point in the season and Grade B from the latest point in the season.
They are generally sweetened with corn syrup or other sweeteners and flavored. It is well documented that native Indians in the United States and Canada were the first producers of maple products.
