Just thought I would say hi. My 5yo son and my father did our first boil ever in Shelton. We did about 50 gallons in a few steam pans over a cinder block setup. It took a long time but me made about a gallon of syrup. Looking forward to doing it again this weekend. This is addicting though and I am already looking at moving up to at least a real 2x2 pan.
I saw some of you are from the are so I thought I would say hi.

Welcome! I started with my daughter about that age and we have shared many memories since then. Enjoy!
Welcome! Enjoy your new hobby. A cinder block arch is how I got started and it's great to sit around and enjoy each others company.
Welcome to the MADNESS!!! Great to do it with family. Have fun and enjoy.

Welcome aboard Jeremy! I'm a weekend boiler over in Ansonia (Grew up in Shelton) You're welcome to stop by anytime. I have a 4 steam pan set up which gets me 9-10 gal/hr when cranking.

Its cool to see so many local people in this hobby.
We will do our second boil this weekend and try and figure out how to filter this stuff after a few failed attempts....
Figuring out the filtering took the longest - here is a link to something that I came up with that makes it a little easier (https://sites.google.com/site/mattat...me/filter-tank). Good luck!

Thanks for sharing.
