    How To Make Maple Syrup at a Sugar Shack: GF Video

    by Eric · This post may contain affiliate links, its one way we pay the bills. · 3 Comments

    Ever wondered how to make maple syrup? I have a number of friends who have sugar shacks and boil down sugar maple sap to make maple syrup. Last weekend I visited one of my friends and made this video about how to make maple syrup.

    You can also use simpler methods than the one shown here with the 2 stage evaporator, I plan on tapping my sugar maples next year and making maple syrup in with a simple propane burner and stainless steel steam table tray that will be my evaporator.

    Do you make your own maple syrup? How do you make it? and any tips and tricks you can offer us here? Let us know below

      Hi Eric,

      I wanted to ask you on some advice and help or setting up a very cost effective irrigation system. All I have so far is a big plastic drum, hoses and a water timer (battery powered). I was wondering instead of using a big water pump like the one in your video because its not cheap, what else can I use. Someone told me I could use a pool pump which is cheaper to get a second hand one and it still works the same. What can you recommend and advice me to do. Mind you I'm setting this up for 3 of my garden beds.

      Kind Regards

      Martin Tika

      how about a gravity fed system? can you put the water uphill or on a stand of some sort? i have seen gravity fed soaker hoses online.

      or a solar powered pump would do fine, i would think. let me know. thx, eric.
