Thanks for the replies. This helps a lot. I don't sell anything, this is just for my family and we prefer dark syrup as it is, so boiling a little past and thinning afterwards is fine with me. Seems...

Hi all. I just got a Murphy cup and looking forward to using it, but I have a couple of questions on finishing my syrup. Before i was getting my sap close to finished on my evaporator and then...

I poured from the evap right into a 5 gal. bucket, no problems, but they were small draws.

Jason

OK, thanks. That's what I thought on the syrup temp. As for the temp controller, I have been talking to some electricians at work and they have been showing me some different options. Can't wait to...

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I am getting ready to build a smaller version of this canner. I have been looking into your Honeywell temp controller that you used, and it looks like the specs...

that's great, thank you so much.

Jason

Would you be willing to share some specs on your canner. I am wanting to build one for myself, but unsure of the elements and t-stat. I am a sheet metal worker by trade and specialize in custom fab...

How do you test your ph levels in your soap.

Jason

Anyway you want. A shim like bricklayer said, whatever it takes. I think I added a nut to the backside of mine. One other thing that will help is adding pipe to the handles, cut a 4 or 5" long piece...

I don't know if it really needs it or not. But I made them equal on the one I built. I can see were it would be a huge pain if they were not lined up.

4'x8'x2' wide stack. Sold lots of them in the boy scouts.

Grizzlym, that is a cool looking shack. I was just thinking yesterday that I hadn't seen one with a barn roof and cupola. I was thinking of building mine this way when I do it. Very nice.

Jason

When I pumped my tank out, it was up hill to where I was loading my tractor, I would let the sap in the line run back into the tankso there would be a little for recirc. Or you can add a bit of...

It's a shurflo 4048 I think, maybe 4008. I will have to check. Sounds like I may not have been wrong about being to far away.

Thanks Jason

Great info, thanks. If I use this controller and the 170 watt panel, would I put the controller and battery by the panels and run wire out to the pump in the woods. Would 12 ga. wire be enough to go...

Thanks for the replies. Biz, do you remember the gauge of the extension cords. Maple flats, awesome answer, thanks.

Jason

Are you guys able to have your solar panels close to your pump and battery. If not how far apart are they. I want to set up a solar panel for my shurflo, but I am in the woods quite a ways. Can some...

I am thinking of tapping and running a few branch runs starting Wednesday. I have a downed tree I need to clear out of the way first. My brother usually helps out a lot, But he is going out of town...

Not trying to sound rude, but, with all the time wasted on this, seems like you could have just contacted the BMV direct and got your answer from them.

Jason

Hmmm, I think I have the same sliders on my mainline. I will go out later and look at them to see how they are. The only thing I could think of is if the lines are shrinking from being cold. I know...

Has anyone used a limit switch to control their blower. You could mount the switch to the side of the arch, and weld a tab to the door. When the door is closed it turns the switch on, when you open...

What do you use maple vinegar for.

Jason

If the same membrane can be used for maple and birch, can it be used for sycamore as well?

Jason

That will work to. Probably look nicer.

Jason

Get some thin wall tubing and slide it up over the handles on the bottom and weld it on. Big hand saver.
