Ill cold test some to see where it wound up.
I have 300 feet of 3/4 mainline for sale with 33 taps on it. I am in the ottawa area if anyone is interested.
How did everyone do this year... i got 65 liters from 130 taps.
100% nailed our style. I don't have the time to commit more than 2 weekends to boiling per season. We do 2 big runs then pull the taps no matter what. As long as we have our family covered and enough to give a couple dozen 250ml kents away we are good.Quote:

Fiddle heads , Morels , and wild leeks !!! Thats what I go after when the sap is done for the season :)
my kid ate one of those wild leaks and complained for hours! now that I am aware of them it's all I can smell in the back.. I could harvest a massive crop if I wanted to.
fiddleheads... never considered eating them..,. maybe I'll try one small salad.
Got my lines all cleaned out.... there were already major chunks of mould/fungus in a lot of the t fittings on the lateral lines.... had to do a lot of work to clean them out. I think next year when I hopefully have vacuum I'll flush them once a week once it gets warmer to prevent this.
found some nice teeth marks in my mainline in the area it was knocked down in at the start of the season. bear maybe?
neighbor saw a bear about 300 feet down the road from my house last week.
Hey Ontario guy I live in same area and got 79L off 130ish taps wasn't a great season but did ok
ya i should have got more but my pipeline stopped early, i am thinking not enought slope.
That is why i want to get rid of it.
17 L from 25 taps. Would have had another 5 L, but I couldn't boil it off fast enough and had some spoil.Quote:
