Nate's 100% Pure Maple Syrup is a great way to make your own delicious syrup at home. It is a fun, easy and inexpensive hobby to do in the spring. All you need is a maple tree and the right tools. The tapping season occurs in the spring and lasts about three to four weeks. The sap flows best when the daytime temperature is above freezing and the temperature at night is below freezing. Nate recommends a 5/16-inch drill bit and a food safe collection vessel. Boil the sap outdoors over a fire and use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. When the sugar content hits 66 brix, you're done. Let it cool to 190 degrees Fahrenheit, then pour it through an Orlon filter, and then into your jars or bottles. Nate provides a free one-page pdf cheat sheet on the website to help with the details. #maple #syrup #tapping #boiling #refractometer #title: Nate's 100% Pure Maple Syrup
