The Backyard Maple Syrup Log: Printable Sugaring Planner with Sap Log, Boil Log and Bottle Labels (Fillable PDF)

Tapping a few maples this spring? The Backyard Maple Syrup Log keeps the whole sugaring season in one place: which trees to tap, when the sap runs, how much you'll boil and how much syrup you made.

Inside the 16-page fillable PDF:

• Season planner with key dates, and an equipment checklist for tapping, collecting, boiling and finishing
• Tree map grid and tree list, plus a taps per tree guide by trunk diameter
• Daily sap log (2 pages) with overnight lows and daytime highs, so you learn when your trees run
• Sap to syrup calculator using the rule of 86, with a worked example
• Boil log (2 pages) and a finishing and bottling guide (syrup is done about 7°F above the temperature water boils at)
• Syrup grades and tasting notes, from golden and delicate to very dark and strong
• 8 bottle labels with your sugarbush name, perfect for gifting
• Season totals and an end-of-season wrap-up checklist

Type your sugarbush name and tappers once and they fill in on every page, including the labels. A fun family project and a great gift for anyone with maples in the yard.
