Your killing me on collections. I’m at 160 from 3 trees. Should have that first batch boiled down and finished by tomorrow.
You need to make sure you've got lots of iron in your pot, or the induction won't do anything. An old cast iron cauldron would be the bomb, except for the round bottom.
1875 watts isnt much if you are putting it into a huge pot. You could measure the power draw and see if it is working as hard as possible but I suspect it just doesnt have enough power.
The pot has a steel bottom, it’s professional cookware. Just not enough juice when operating outside.
I like that setup, my scale is too small to build a better mousetrap.
Let me get this right, you are throwing away your frozen sap because you think it contains less sugar :/ Try eating some of it.
How much do you make trials? Gifts for friends? Maple sugar in all your baking.
Depends on the year, I have too much left over from last year to boil off this season, I tap about 100 trees normally, yields 8 or so gallons typically but I make it far thicker then legal so it's actually called maple candy. It's awesome in home made buttertarts
No I don’t toss anything. I pull off the frozen stuff and save it for later. The unfrozen boils down faster - I’m just impatient.Let me get this right, you are throwing away your frozen sap because you think it contains less sugar :/ Try eating some of it.
If you want to optimize the sugar content of your sap, you should get a refractometer and only tap the sweetest trees
That looks like you might have a Norway Maple there, check the leaves out later in the year.
She’s a silver, very soft and messy. Silvers are bad foe snapping off, this one has crashed the house a few times.
