  • Why can't you reuse the bags? All these bags go in the landfill.

  • @giddymoon I also rinse mine, dry them and keep them in a cool place

  • Did you guys say it takes a full chord of wood to make 5 US Gallons of syrup or is that a face chord of wood? I am curious cause I want to get into this business someday. Thanks!

  • @charronfamilyconnect A batch means about 2.5 gallons of syrup. Was say cord, which means a full cord not a half cord as in face cord.

  • how often can you reuse those bags? CAn you use them for more than one maple sugar season? Thanks!

  • @charronfamilyconnect as long as they don't tear and you keep them clean and dry

  • @threefortea1 Good question, I am sticking to maples but some one will be along to asnwer you.

  • @teamgrn no, it isn't tasty. It is clear, and after boling it down it does turn brown. If the liquid from the tree turns brown after a run of gathering sap from the tree, than the tree is telling you to stop taking sap as it has none left to give.

  • @1840218403 Sugar supply company, google it that will help you

  • @maineroses Sugar supply company, google it that will help you

  • @giddymoon He doesn't re-use his, I have no clue as to why other than being lazy. I can assure you that I re-use mine. Thanks, great post!!

  • I WOULD LIKE TO FIND THOSE BAGS AND TOPS DO YOU HAVE ANY INFO I WOULD APPRECIATE IT THANKS
