When you get Bigsap you will know it.
DaveY BIGSAP is spelled with the caps lock on so that it stands out on the page.
Dano BIGSAP is when the sap is coming into the releaser full pipe and it is dumping at a very fast rate.
Theron keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to us all.
I almost have my new sugarbush ready for tapping. Another two or so days of running tubing, and then a day getting tanks in, shelter for the vacuum pump, etc.. Going out in the woods tomorrow, but I have two markets this weekend. So friday is bottling syrup and making sugars and cream. Had a close call monday. I was on the mountain when a good gust blew down a dead tree 15 feet from where I was standing. If a hooked connector hadn't come off of the mainline wire I would have been standing right where the tree came down. A couple seconds between smushed or not smushed!
Van, you cant be too careful in the woods. Sometimes there is nothing you can do. It doesn't hurt to be lucky.
Russ I have never been able to use that caps key. my finger wont press it.
i wouldnt know as ive never had a vacuum
but iwill find out this year with my super maples cant wait
Dano- Last year was my first year at this and I was all excited and I told everyone I wanted to get BIGSAP. I never was around vac and I couldnt wait to see how it ran. Then during the season I would get on and do BIGSAP updates. Like this is a test of the emergency BIGSAP system. Tomarrow the temperatures in the southern Maine will be condusive to a very heavy sap flow. Please be alert and be sure to have clean tanks ready and whatever you do dont spill any. Stuff like that. Ive just got a good line of bs. Jim- I was wondering about that becouse I dont think Ive ever tried both ways on gravity. When I ran buckets I always got the most sap and they were 7/16 and I think running the gravity tube I used 5/16. Never really remember trying both on the tube. Theron

It's true. I learn something new here everyday!
You know Clan, the book you used to build your sugar house.
Ok you guys give Theron a break. You know if he don't tap the trees and satisfy his desires, he will be kicking himself all year saying why didn't I tap those trees. Let him have a go at it and see what happens. Of course the bush will probably do bad because he is putting my name on it. I can't hold a light for Theron or most any other guys on here even thought I may have been making syrup longer than a lot. I work full time, live close to 1/2 hour from the sugarhouse and have 2 small children, so with a busy work schedule, it makes it hard to keep up and make syrup like I could if I had more time.
Either way, we do the best we can with what we have and let the chips fall where they may.
I hope you don't throw the book at Theron!
I haven't recieved a copy of the book either.
