We got our first boil in today. We grabbed about 90 gallons on monday. There was just enough cold here to kick start it. I will finish it tomorrow morning. Better weather seems to be coming.15804

They do look very nice!! How do you filter and fill?5 quart synthetic cone filter with several prefilters. It's not the most efficient but it works for now. Once the rest of my operation is Whete I want it, I will tackle filtering. But it 'polishes' the syrup for presentation in glass.15832

i havent posted much because we just havent had the weather for a good run. even after a cold spell, we are getting minimal flow. we just have to wait until they release.
