Making Maple Syrup At The Off Grid Cabin

Syrup season is well underway and with the early warm weather, we are already doing our first boil!
We went up to the cabin for the weekend and managed to boil through almost 900L of sap. With our new evaporator set up, the process was much more efficient and saved a lot of time.
We are only mid-season so we still have our taps out and are hoping for a second boil in the next few weeks. At the end of the weekend, we finished up with just over 20L of finished syrup and we're hoping for at least that much more!
Stay tuned to see how the season plays out!
We hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

Hello from N-B here, I see you finally got yourself 2 pans for boilling, good improvement. I would highly sudjest using a refractometer instead of a thermometer and end your boiling when you are at 67% on the refractometer, beats fighting the steam coming of the boiling pot and it is more accurate.

Very cool to watch how this done

@living.different 4 месяца назад

It’s a near process! 🍁

I find that when your warming pot can trickle a flow into the main pan you never loose the boil and is way less labor intensive...even if you just trickle a cold flow of sap into your pan it wont kill the boil if slow enough

Nice work everybody! Thank you for taking us through the process. Wow that's some dark and likely very very flavourful syrup!!! Yum!!! God bless this family ❤️🙏🏼

@living.different 4 месяца назад

It certainly is very flavourful! Glad you enjoyed the video 🍁

@rosemaryjasper1121 4 месяца назад

Wow, that was a marathon! I didn’t realise just how much syrup evaporates during the cooking process. It does explain why it’s so expensive to buy, I’m in England and it’s a real treat whenever I can either find it or afford it! A long process, but as a consumer I do appreciate all the effort you put into the finished product!❤

@living.different 4 месяца назад

It’s definitely very time consuming which explains the price haha 🍁

@douglasgatian1401 4 месяца назад

Love the process. Thanks!

@douglasgatian1401 4 месяца назад

Did you say you're selling some Maple syrup? If so where do I fins that?

@living.different 4 месяца назад

Yes we are! It’ll be on the website at the end of the season when we’re done boiling 🍁

The kids will treasure those memories for the rest of their lives 😊 well done guys!

@living.different 4 месяца назад

They do enjoy doing syrup! 🍁

Take a panel/one tarp down. Need air flow from the bottom to make an up draft

@living.different 4 месяца назад

We have an air gap at the front of the fire where the panel is already. Thanks for watching!

@gerardlevesque9274 4 месяца назад

I do a transfer from the wood stove when the reading on the refractometer is at 50 to 55% and then boil it to 67% on my electric stove to finish it off

@FordDude66 4 месяца назад

Adding that second pan looks like it really helped with the boiling process. Its also nice to have the kids help and teach them how to do it. Todd from da Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

@living.different 4 месяца назад

The second pan was so helpful in speeding up the process!

Thank you for sharing this with us! Makes me think Spring! Love all your videos!!!!

@living.different 4 месяца назад

Syrup season is the start of spring! 🌸 🍁

@keithdescoteaux5640 4 месяца назад

If you have a gas leaf blower and aim it at the fire you will get a much hotter fire. Just need it to idle or just above idle. Your doing a great job

Wow! Looks like the snow dissapeared in a hurry! Weve been south for the winter to avoid it, looks like its time to come home. Thanks for posting!

@living.different 4 месяца назад

It’s been very mild this year!

@joanntucker2742 4 месяца назад

Like your video and seeing how to make maple syrup 😜👏

@GaryMinckler 4 месяца назад

At the end of a long day, i like building a big fire and flooding the pan. Let it simmer down all night and leaves a good spot to start the next day. Saves a late night after an already long day.

@living.different 4 месяца назад

We like to do that too! 🍁

@GaryMinckler 4 месяца назад

For just a couple flat pans you guys are doing great! I love making steam!!

We really enjoyed your channel. You may have said and I missed it but what are you doing with all the syrup? Thank you for sharing your story.

@living.different 4 месяца назад

We keep enough for ourselves for the year and the sell the rest! 🍁

@AndyLong 4 месяца назад

Have you folks ever boiled it down all the way to a sugar or candy? My grandfather used to make some for us many years ago. Yum!

@living.different 4 месяца назад

We are making maple sugar this season!

50 Litres of sap makes how much syrup? Thanks for taking us along

@living.different 4 месяца назад

40L of sap to 1L of finished syrup! 🍁

@user-es8og3jb5f 3 месяца назад

What do you use to test your finished syrup. A refractometer or a hydrometer. Or just guess. Nice video

@living.different 3 месяца назад

Thermometer and a refractor but also I can tell by looking at it now haha 🍁

@texnoti 4 месяца назад

The amount of work, propane, wood - is it cheaper than store bought? Ofc added value that it's home made. And I rather do that + the fun of 'camping'.

@living.different 4 месяца назад

We don’t really use much propane, maybe one tank. The wood doesn’t cost anything but time , there’s a lot of trees down at the cabin. It’s really just time that it “costs”
