Bri On The PondA sign we are getting to the end of the maple run. The syrup in these jars are from the same trees boiled to the same temperature (7.5 degrees over boiling point. For our elevation 218.5). The dark syrup on the right was made yesterday. The light syrup on the left was about 3 weeks ago. I love the deeper flavor of the dark syrup. If you look closely you can see a sap jug on the massive maple, that also holds our clothes line, in the background. #maple #MapleSyrup #foraging #canning #tappingtrees
- Oh yeah, while boiling, i added some #birch bark (coming from a freshly dead tree) for #flavors and #tannins
- When the wort reached ambient temperature, I topped it some of the fresh #birchsap that would act like a wild yeast starter inşallah
- Now I just have to wait and see if all of this is worth the endeavour I guess
Side project: pitching some of the pasteurized and reduced sap with commercial #yeast
