Birch Sap Wine? To be extracted in the first 2 weeks of March, when the sap is rising. To extract 1 gallon of birch tree sap it is best to tap 3-4 trees. Firstly, select a point on the tree a few feet from the ground. Using a knife or small hand drill bore a small hole into the tree large enough to insert a plastic tube. Penetrate just through the bark (normally a few centimetres) slanting slightly upwards as you go.Tree sap will often start to flow straight away; if not then perhaps it is the wrong time of year. The birch sap should also be clear, as a particularly cloudy liquid is not good for wine making. When I have nothing better to do or for when oil runs out and we can no longer import foreign gyfergwin?
