I have 21,000 taps and the majority of our mainlines are buried. We use schedule 40 PVC in 10 foot lengths. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Kinda busy right now but will try to...

There are goods and bads about the zero tanks. We have 7 of them and run the vacuum as high as we can and never had an issue with anything. We usually aim for vacuum of 25. They are nice that they...

CDL claims that you get better sap yields with the white spiles than the black ones. I forget what the exact number is but I’m thinking they said 7% more. It makes sense if you think about...

I believe this is a canker. I have heard different people say they can spread in the wind which seems really strange to me but I have no reason to doubt them.

I would cut these trees myself

I always dump my first run or part of it anyways. Taste and smell will tell you a lot about your sap and if you should be saving it

What we are going to do it put the check valve adapters in the CDL tee and plug the stubby back into the adapter.

Hello everyone, I have some concerns with switching over to new drills this season. Will the drill that drills at 2,000 rpm dry out the tap holes? We used to use drills that ran at 1,500 rpm. Any...

We use a Marcland automatic draw off to finish our syrup. I always like to run a little bit thick as it’s easier to adjust than to try and thicken it up. Just open the valve and let some thin...

No problem. We tap wherever we can find good wood. It doesn’t appear to make much of a difference

I️ recently bought two of these because they seemed like a good deal, the batteries are the smallest ones they make. Has anyone used these batteries for tapping?

We switched to the induction caps that you heat up with the induction sealer unit. It pretty much eliminated our mold problems in the plastic jugs. The unit itself was around $200 and the lids were...

Ok. With the foil caps you need to purchase an induction sealer. Do you have one of those?

I use the induction caps and find they work quite well. For the standard caps I heat it at 1200 watts for 0.8 seconds and for the flip top I heat it at 1200 watts for 1.3 seconds. It has helped us...

We just use well water and store it when it's not in use with plumbers antifreeze. We have heard that using permeate will eat away slowly at the pump. We might try using soft water instead and see...

Hi everyone , near the end of our season our 2 stage sihi vacuum pump seized up. We took it apart and it had scale built up on the inside which would not allow it to turn. What can we do to avoid...

I am looking to get a digital refractometer for making syrup and packing it as well we usually make 6,000 gallons or more in a year. I am looking at the hand held Misco hand held PA202 or the Hanna...
