We tapped a month ago today, most I have ever made was 72 gallons in 2011

Crazy Crazy Crazy year here just outside of Beetown, WI. 220 taps and still going strong for a couple more days. Going to be a record year for sure......probably 100 gallons of syrup for us at...

Called Roth's Sugar Bush in Cadot, WI today and they had replacements for it :)

Anyone out there in the maple syrup world know if anyone has parts for a 7" wes fab hand filter press. I was filtering last night and developed a hole in my diaphragm, lucky for me I had a...

I thought last year was bad but this year proved me wrong, I made 72 gallons in 2011, 37 last year and 32 this year. I think it might have something to do with the drought last summer. Pulled 200...

Yeah, I think the season might be over as well here in SW Wisconsin. Temps are going to be to warm, who would have thought that we would get two years in a row like this ?

That syrup would be to die for ...........

Now that's funny :lol:

I run mine trough a whole house filter...

Wait till we get a "good" year Mike, these last two years have sucked, thinking 2013 isn't going to be much better than last year. If we get a good year you will get sick of seeing sap lol

Why do you tap so close to the ground ?

The V V V V V up design is the way to go, I have had mine for 5 seasons with no warn at all. The V's fill up with ash and insulate the steel so it doesn't get as hot, works great :)

Pure Maple Syrup is thinner than store bought but it sounds to me like you need to cook it a little more

Thanks for the help, I figure I'm running about 1 1/2 gallons per square foot on my 2X6 flat pan evaporater with 6 divider chambers in it. :)

What is the best you can do per square foot on a flat pan, gallons of sap cooked per hour ?

Don't put anything in the hole, it will heal faster without.

Do you put the paper filters on both sides of the plates, it's a hand pump filter press with three banks. Also I filter about 4 gallons of syrup at a time with a few hours in between draws, do I need...

You need to "tinker" a bit to figure out how fast you need to add the new sap coming in to maintain the deapth that you want and so days the sap boils off at a faster rate but once you have done it...

Wes fab filters and presses........AndersonsMapleSyrup.com......don'tnhow price compares.

Hello all,
I need some input on what filter press to buy, I have 200 taps and made 72 gallons of syrup this year and I woulf like to speed up my filter process. I read that the long bank 7" press...

Everything is cleaned up and ready for next year, made 72 gallons this year. I really need to get a filter press, so sick of waiting for syrup to pass through filters. Over all very good year in S.W....

Yes, you can add some to it to thin it down a bit then keep checking it till you get to the top red line when boiling.

I bought mine on ebay and I went with the 8#

Seams to me we bottle syrup in plastic bottles when we sell it......should be fine.

Please tell me, who else buys syrup in Wisconsin besides Anderson's ?
