Brent, I had it too. I don't use de foamer. Slimey sap in my pans. At first I thought it was the temperature and sugar concentration giving a viscous appearance. I cooked it for a while and it...

Convert the rain to hydrogen....viola!

Thank you.

ooops, ahh sorry guys, too many boiling sodas..... I could have sworn that was a goat. My bad!!! What ever, it tasted like chicken.... Relax, the party aint necessarily over yet, Old man winter...

Be careful with glass jars, I had an accident this spring that resulted in 4 stitches and a $2000 emergency room bill (good thing I have health insurance).


I got pictures, but I'll spare you the...

A guy was at my dads garage for some welding tonight and he saw my evaporator project. He's from E. kingston and started telling me about the big shed this guy built that he drove by and thought...

Can't beat that standing dead pine, it's probably what the natives used. I look for the stuff with the bark falling off. It's all over the ground after last weeks storm. Congrats on the success.

Got 20 taps in today, first time with tubing, fun, fun. I might have to fab one of them tools, I spent a lot of time chasing sling shotting tubing :lol: . Need more fittings, used em up quicker...

She's coming along. Went to goodriches to get fire brick last weekend, they said I was the fourth sugarer to come in for em that day. Did a bunch of welding last weekend, should be able to finish...

Quite a mess. Been cleaning up for customers and then right on to plowing. Hope to tap a few tomorrow. Got our electricity back (after four hours of fighting the generator) Don't forget to drain...

I got some that had Dr pepper, for sap storage. I have washed them profusely and the smell is still there. Glad to know this will not affect finished product. Thank you.

There he is! That's a bummer, about Epping. Is the tubing in their way?
I'm going to tap this weekend, I wont have my arch ready till next weekend. I might stop by to see how you ended up...

Nope, ordered it up from Bascoms for about half that price. Now I just need to figure out how to use it. I'm not sure I got the right fittings, just taps and tees.
Why wont you guys use em?

It wasn't my fault this time, I wasn't even there! I drove by a few weeks ago and saw you standing on a ladder working on lines. I was tempted to stop in but I had my kids and figured you didn't...

I confess, I'm part of the oak tapping club too. Took me 2 days of empty bucket to figure it out:emb: . Got this other tree, swear it's a maple, it doesn't produce a drop.(could be...

Is this the guy with the new filter press? I have been welding on my project evaporator all weekend, so I haven't tapped yet. Looks like a cool down in the forecast. We'll see ya around.

:lol: :mrgreen:

I have a name that has "stuck" with me since I was a kid. I never liked it as a kid but it just seems to fit with maple syrup. My name's Nicholas, Nick for short and Stickey Nickey is what they...

Well, I just did, something about it smells. I'm not going to let it get me all worked up. Maybe I missed the point?....

Heat tape! or the anti ice dam wire! maybe both? Foil back or bubble foil insulation. If you want to get really creative, hook it up to a thermostat, viola. I've been thinking about this myself....

I ran out of wood last year and found that the standing dead pine that I scrounged up worked pissah. Get the stuff thats still upright, not laying down. Somewhere I read that it takes 9 months to...

Bascom's ships, quickly too. I got one in Loudon NH last year, right across the road from the racetrack.

Butcher, there's a guy on route 4 in Northwood, $12 a piece, just picked up a few myself. Do a search, we have mentioned him a few times. Good luck, don't take them all, I need a few more.

I guess I should update this thread. I have toured my local fire house and began filling out the paper work to volunteer as this is the starting point for a career in that field. I am keeping the...

Sitting here laughing, I can relate. I just today picked up a pair of Vasque sundowner hiking boots, that I had to order and wait for. I had a pair that I bought over 10 years ago, lasted for ever,...
