Data was recorded in a google sheets doc as sap was gathered daily from each tree. Quantities, times, and sugar content of boils and reverse osmosis processing were similarly recorded. Final graphs and trends were made in excel.
I thought you all might find the data interesting…while my graphic design skills need some work.
huh that 60:1 ratio seems pretty high what kind of maple did you tap?
Reminds me of the ontario maple production blog. I guess they are behind on the updates cause the 2025 season has definitely started up here

I had no idea you could get so much sap out of a tree.
Ah, this is a great write up, thank you. Growing up in the 80’s in the Boston area, my father tapped 3 old growth trees in our yard. We’d collect it in gallon plastic milk jugs, 3 per tree. IIRC, at peak we’d be emptying them twice daily. The house smelled like syrup for weeks. We didn’t have RO then. So if I’m following you right, you save just under 50% of the total energy costs by using RO?
