Hey Russ. It is always a pleasure to read your post. I was wondering why the syrup won’t lighting up. Here has been dark and very dark. You always have some helpful information in your post. Hope the...

Russ I have not figured it out yet. I am wondering if is the foam that the filter press makes when it spits it into the bottling unit. I bottled 8.5 gal on Tuesday with no issues. I am going to have...

Will you deliver to Deerfield or I can maybe pick it up tomorrow late afternoon? Let me know.

I guess I will start by saying that doing the backyard thing is not that bad. But I got bit by the bug. Trying to finish the sugarhouse and get the new equipment setup and look for more taps and work...

Looking for a small sugarbush around the Deerfield area. Let me know if you can help me out. Thanks:cool:

Thanks father and son! It was great to see the pictures. If anyone else has any input on 2by6 or 8 oils evaporators please chime in and send some pictures. I have to order one within the next Month...

Thanks Russ. Maybe when this **** world gets straightened back out I will take a ride up. I was hopping to get a bunch of ideas for my sugar house this year because I need a total upgrade on just...

I will be pulling taps here too this weekend. Still get some nice clear sap but haven’t check the sugar content. Glad you are making it a family thing it the best when you have help from family and...

Everything about this year has been perfect except for this virus. New sugarhouse is awesome, more taps then ever, the weather and the 48 gal of syrup I have made with another 8 ready to be filtered...

Here in Deerfield we are chugging along. All my syrup has been a little darker than it should be. Got the micro 2 to run just over 10% but only going through about 3/4 gpm but when you have a half...

Bought a new leader micro 2 and got it pumping at 9%. Bottled another 8 gal tonight so it brings me to around 17 gal for the season. Boiled all day today with friends and family and it couldn’t get...

Hey Dave. I ran into the same issues. I could never get my syrup to filter easy especially if it is a batch boil. I found a used hand pump filter press for around 450 dollars and it changed my world....

Went down to the new little sugar Bush That I tapped this year and had over 250 gal in my tank since Sunday morning. Bought a micro RO 2 so hopefully it does it’s job. The little half pint will have...

Where to start, I finally after 4 year have built my new shack!! It started as a 16x16 but it was built 20x24 with a 8x12 RO room. Not bad for cutting and milling all my own lumber. It is not...

Pulled on my buckets today and got another 45 gal of sap. I will run the RO all night and get around 40 gal or concentrate which will give me a couple more gal of deliciousness. Then comes the crappy...

I will have to look into one of the finishers with stand for holding different size bottles. I just need to figure how to set up filter press right out of evaporator. Hopefully with the bigger Shack...

So this is my situation. I am at the point that I make to much syrup to finish on my stove inside my house. What are people using to bottle. I am using a coffee urn now but I make 7 gal a time and my...

Got about 70 gal from 100 taps. I wish there was a couple more days of it.

Yeah Russ hard to compete with the really big dogs. Some on the ridge are to big for my likes. I mean I would love to have them but as a small timer I like the little sugar houses to visit. I’m glad...

Ran all 250+\- gal through the RO and i am going to fire up the ol’ Half pint at 7 am. How did everyone’s day go with visitors? Crappy day today but totshould be really nice. Filtered 2.5 gal today...

Definitely interested. NHShaun, I tried to send you a private message but I’m not sure it went through. Let me know thanks a bunch.

Well I don’t feel that bad then. I got 35 gal out of 100 buckets. Very weird season. I have almost 32 here so hopefully it goes below freezing and we get something going tomorrow before the storm....

Still not even running good. It is almost noon and it is only around 30 degrees. And this wind is not helping at all. The vacuum systems might be going good but when you don’t have a sugar bush to...

Homemade RO is running at around 10% and I have around 40 gal of concentration to boil. So I figured a half pint it will be great day tomorrow. Got a bunch of cool bottle I can wait to try. Got to do...

What is going on with this weather!?!?!?
