the middle of January was like 0-10F no stop... that doesn't sound right
I'm in south river... I've got trees in morganville tapped
I'm using the 5/16" plastic spiles going in to 5gal buckets on the ground. I drilled in bout 1.5" on the south side of the tree. I got...
i dont get it... I have 10 reds tapped, three trees together produced about one gallon of sap over all of last week. I've collected maybe 5 gallons total this year from those three trees. They are...
I have three trees that I've collected sap out of... the other seven trees have been bone dry :/
I've collected like 4 gallons of sap from 10 taps on real good size reds. idk what gives... I wait!
I'm pulling my buckets Sunday morning... we'll see. I certainly got something...
a bottle of bourbon, couple hundred gallons of sap... a good time!!
10 taps in morganville... 3 trees produced about 3 gallons over the past 5 days :/
check ebay for used pumps... they are very expensive new!!!! they are great cause a lot of them come with variable controllers, and they do not need to be primed, and do not contact the sap. i've...
yeah thats why I went with the 12"x2" metal extension... keep the fans away from the barrel as much as possible. I don't leave them on there turned off... always on when connected to the barrel.
lol syrup, beer, wine, mead, cider.... you name it. 8gal buckets...
I was thinking about maple wine... once you have the wine you're only a few hours away from some shine!! Boil sap until you're at about a 1.120 SG, ferment down to .999-1.000, and run it! Pot still...
well it makes sense that if you have a fan blowing on it it'll evap faster... really the problem would be how much heat you can get into the pan. There is a point where the amount of heat you have...
my last run in with the inspectors cost me bout $1,500 and a trip to court... I feel your pain... granted I don't have an entire barn being held over my head. They did threaten to require me to gut...
that makes sense... when I'm brewing beer in the warmer months I rig up a fan to increase evaporation... didn't think about the cold offsetting the gains this time of year, especially with all the...
ahhhh the ol code enforcement BS.... I think every property owner has had a run in with them at one time or another. I think they all enjoy running people through the gauntlet, extorting money to...
I see all sorts of things people do to make their arches more efficient, but I haven't seen anyone put a fan blowing steam away from their pan. Water evaporates faster when a fan is blowing on...
mine aren't really running either...i had a couple quarts come out of a huge red. Ehh... if theres no sap I'll do something else like pull down tree stands HAHAH
yep... hammering in plugs... seems a little crazy
lol bout the best I can come up with for this little import... 32gal outside... i can drop a couple 5gal buckets inside....enough for a good day of boiling. I have to haul my sap about 10 miles so...
be careful what you wish for... before you know it you'll be complaining cause its 100F 100% humidity
other guys running these pans get like 3-4gph per pan... over a raging inferno wood fire
you can buy buckets year round... good sap only flows for a few weeks. Why risk losing sap?
the bark looked too thin to be ash... although it has the V shaped bark. can you see any buds? that'll narrow it down. it's def a maple or ash with the opposing branches
