I was wondering what the going price per gallon of an insulated milk tank is?

It's expensive stuff though. Some of the blanket is 4.50 a ft and the strip stuff is 2.50 a ft...

Does anyone use ceramic wool insulation under the flue pans and or their syrup pans? How do you think it works. I use it and like it a lot, seems to seal up things very well!

Makes sense about the cold hydro cup, we usually keep the cup right inside of the finish pan while boiling though. I'll have to try cold cup theory next year with a thermometer.

Why does a hydrometer for maple syrup say 211 degrees for the hot test, when syrup is drawn off at 219 for the most part?

I should've added that it seems to happen more in glass than any other, I'm thinking the glass cools syrup to fast.

What are some of the reasons mold forms on top of maple syrup. I have my own opinions, just wondering what everyone else thinks.

Started tapping today, only 2400 more to go in that woods. just about 2.5 % sugar content.

My family just had a woods of 1600 taps restrung, we didn't put anymore than 6 taps per 5/16" lateral line.

Whats everyones opinion on this years season? I'm thinking should've started tapping last week. It's going to be spring overnight this year. Sweet but short year is my prediction.
