Nothing says Canada better! Not sure why that is... lol. How many liters of sap does it take to make a liter of syrup? I guess it would depend on how thick you like your syrup... But roughly? I have a mature maple in my yard, but I don't think it is a sugar maple. I think I could use it anyway. Do you buy your taps or do you make your own?

you can make your own taps from bamboo, sumac or a wood dowel. I made mine from the branches of a sumac tree. from 40 litres of sap you get one litre....
Q. How much maple sap does it take to make a gallon of Maple Syrup?
A. The amount of sap required to make a gallon of Maple Syrup depends on the sap's sugar content. If sap is 1% sugar it will take 86 gallons to make one gallon of Maple Syrup. At 2% sugar it will take 43 gallons to make one gallon of Maple Syrup. At Cloverdale Sugarhouse our Sugarbush tends to yield sap that is somewhere between 1% and 2% sugar. So we must process about 50 gallons of maple sap to produce one gallon of Maple Syrup. In a single day we can collect up to 12,000 gallons of maple sap!.........
