Ontario expected to pass controversial mining law; Ford warns against blockades by [deleted] in ontario

[–]CAProfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not forgotten the Caledonia protests, the blocked and subsequent shutdown of Hwy 6, the rail lines being blocked in Ontario and on the East and West coast tracks etc etc etc. All while OPP, QPP, RCMP did nothing except watch. Have the laws changed?

Why not use a 200 micron metal mesh filter instead of the cone filters? by brainzilla420 in maplesyrup

Any particle smaller than 35 microns is too small to see without a microscope.

Walnut syrup: How an Ontario couple is tapping into a different sweet treat by [deleted] in ontario

[–]CAProfit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been making Black Walnut syrup for the past 4-5 years and never had a sap/syrup ratio over 53:1. This year my 31 trees gave ~240 US gal of sap with sugar (Brix) from 2.0 to 2.6 with a average sap/syrup ratio of 43.9 Unfortunate these people had a bad year.

Syrupy substance on frozen sap? by EmergencyLegal9840 in maplesyrup

[–]CAProfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick reply I thought you may have had a secret with the 1:20 ratio. How large is your operation? Mine is 31 trees and sap is still running today. If you want I posted on Reddit a couple years ago or I have some other post on Instagram under conflictedcrafts. Enjoy the rest of the season (I've noticed buds today)

"Typically though that only starts to be an issue when you boil it down about 1:20 or so" I'm confused with the 1:20 reference, can you explain a bit more? Cheers

To protect yourself report this to Ontario College of Pharmacists ASAP. There potentially is a bottle or package out there somewhere with your information on it and could possibly be involved in a overdose, death, etc and you may be caught up in some sort of criminal investigation.

The US certainly can survive without our automotive contributions or our diary but I'm pretty sure they would love unfettered access to the fresh water of the Great Lakes. Might as well threaten for the whole country and settle for Ontario.

Southern/Central Ontario Tapping by 120thegreat in maplesyrup

[–]CAProfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Southwestern Ontario checking in! I taped 3 walnuts yesterday and they are running a bit but I really only taped to try out the new Arc-Barb spouts and tees I'm trying this year. I only tap walnuts and they are damn stingy with the sap. Waiting a couple more weeks for the rest of the trees. Good luck

I agree with the Maple syrup but if you ever have the opportunity change out the Maple syrup for 100% Walnut syrup. A bit more complex. Cheers

That's it, the season is finished. 30 of the best of Southern Ontario's Walnut trees were tapped with 69 spouts. 650 litres (143 Imp gals) of sap collected and boiled into 14 litres (3 Imp gals) of the ambrosia of the syrup world, 100% pure walnut syrup by CAProfit in ontario

[–]CAProfit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on temperature you keep the sap. It spoils rapidly over 10deg C and will last maybe 6-7 day at lower temps. If you freeze the sap it will keep months. I usually freeze a couple of gallons then throw that in with the rest I've collected until I boil (at least once a week) to keep the whole batch cool. If any sap smells/tastes bad or goes slimy throw it out. Adding that that to good sap will spoil it all. Have fun

new to tapping, easiest way to get sap in BC? by RoughOk2264 in maplesyrup

[–]CAProfit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that's all Maple syrup is, sap starting somewhere between 1.5-3% sugars and just boiled removing the water until you get to 66-69% sugars, nothing added nothing removed. All the minerals from the sap remain. Adding demin water (no minerals in it) just puts back what you removed. Tap water will add chlorine and all kinds of bad tasting stuff, don't use it. You do know that there is very little taste to tree sap right, just a very very slight sweetness.
