He has used old bottles for refilling. Remember, it's not a factory
production and a couple of gallons isn't a lot. He probably had some
bottles given to him or just what's been collected over time.

I was wondering why Sheldon would post a pic of home made maple syrup as
there appears no benefit to anyone or anything (except his ego). It's a
"refilled" maple syrup bottle with no label. For all we know Sheldon
could have removed the label himself from a "new" bottle, "invented" the
story and posted the pic to lend it some credence. Certainly we aren't
able to do a taste test. The pic is a waste of effort.
