10 Maple Syrup Tree Tapping Kit - 10 Taps + 2-Foot Drop Lines + Includes Sap Filter + Instructions

Make Maple, Birch, or Walnut Syrup at Home! Kaito Ridge tree tapping kits include (10) 24'' lengths of 5/16" blue food-grade drop line tubing that's visible in the woods all season long. The drop line tubing is specially formulated for sap collection, and is the same tubing used by professional maple sugaring operations around the country. The blue color also helps provide visibility in the woods, so you can see exactly where you've placed your taps for fresh sap collection. This added benefit is always welcome after an early Spring snow storm! You'll also receive (10) 5/16" tree saver spouts that are so strong, they're practically indestructible. This diameter spout is the industry standard in sap collection; it allows sufficient sap flow for collection while allowing the tree tap hole to heal within the same year. Other suppliers may provide larger spouts that can be damaging to the overall health of the tree. We provide 5/16" tree saver spouts as preservation of nature and long-term sustainability are our core values. Each tree tapping kit includes a maple sap filter which can be used both as a pre-filter for raw sap straight from the tree and as a hot maple syrup filter after your sap boil. Filtering syrup after boiling down your sap helps reduce the amount of natural sugar sand. Filters can be rinsed and reused. Maple tapping season runs from January through April, and varies by region. Birch sap flow begins when maple season ends. The season's length also varies by earth climate patterns year to year. Please research the season in your region before ordering, or send us a message for expert advice on exactly when to tap your trees! Have any questions about making maple syrup?
