Sweet Tree's Sugar Shack is where the real magic happens. Once the sap is harvested, it is taken to the Sugar Shack for processing. The transformation from crystal clear sap to amber gold syrup is a slow careful labour of love, and the whole family gets involved.
Tanks outside the Sugar Shack feed the evapourator inside.
Skyla knows that it takes a lot of firewood to keep the evaporator fueled.
The evaporator firebox must be monitored and fueled constantly in order to maintain the correct temperature for evaporation.
Sap is fed into the evaporator which bubbles away as the process gets underway
Sap is fed into the tank from right to left and is evaporated further as it passes from one chamber to the next.
Adam checks to see how evaporation is progressing.
Laura keeps a close eye on the Brix level of the sap as evaporation progresses.
Laura uses a Refractometer to test the Brix level or sugar content of the sap. When it reaches the optimum level, the concentrated sap can be stored until it is needed for further processing.
