Casey...,
Thanks for posting the trial boil pictures. You have a nice large sugarhouse. I like the rig too!
ALSO a big thanks needs to go out to Jim (mapleman3) and the other folks that are maintaining the trader and keeping the spammers at bay for us so we can talk maple!
Regards,
Chris
Casey- Real nice looking setup! What are you running for RO this year? Your going to have to WANN IT pretty good with that many taps. You cant change the evap out till you go over 5000. Wayside- If you decide you cant get all your sap boiled bring it up to me and Ill buy it off you and treat you right. Theron
been having alot of steam problems in my sh i was wondering if u guys think if i set 50 dehumidifiers in the rafters with tubes running back down to pails would it be worth re boiling the condensate
PATheron, Will do....I would really like to get over there and check out your setup sometime seeings how I am so close. My aunt and uncle live up the road from you I think. They are just of 549 before you get to Judson Hill Road.
Peacemaker- I don't think reboiling the condesate from the steam would do you any good because the steam is pure water, but I'm not totally sure on that.

Thanks Sugarmaker.... We are still Ironing out a few more things, The classifieds hopefully will get fixed. the company that the classified section was bought from may not be in business anymore, but so far it looks as though the spamming may be drastically cut down. Thanks to Ted our Webmaster working behind the scenes.
A few Members have emailed me with log in issues, I am checking those out and will get back to those of you asap.
there has to be some sugar left in it cause when i forget to open the flaps and fall asleep a hr into the boil when i wake up my eyelids are sugared shut
Scott- Your welcome to come over anytime. Id like to see your setup too. Im in troy a lot send me a pm with your address sometime if you want and Ill stop by and check out your setup. Do you tap the huge trees by the cemetary? Theron
PaTheron. were shooting for 2500-3000 this season. more to come. the additon really is gong to be helpful this season. i hope to running a 600 this season if everything goes right. hoping to have electric hooked up at atleast one sugarbush this season.
Oh i wan it i wan it badddddddd
Peacemaker- I could be wrong Im not totally sure but I think it would be safe to say that the amount of sugar in the steam (if any) would be very very minimal. Again just my thoughts on it.
PATheron- No I really wish I was tapping those trees, that sap goes to Roloson's place off of route 6. My buddies dad collects it and sells the sap to them. I'll send you a pm with my address, but I wont have much to show for until later in december. Right now ive got a new evaporator sitting in storage along with all my other sugaring stuff.
