Will be doing my second boil in Dickinson County tonight.
Other than lots of snow not to bad.
I have heard they work good for moonshine.
Can not confirm that on here though.
I am waiting. Way to much snow.
Was cutting wood yesterday and there is at least 2' of snow against the trees still.
I have screens. We use the building for other things during the year.
Nice to get the airflow thru without the bugs.
I pulled my taps last Wednesday. Had to go out of town this past weekend and now the walleye bite is going to pick up.
For the poor weather I dealt with I got a little over 6 gallons with a small...
Have 83 taps in this year. Hardly running yet. Temperatures just to cold.
Have only gathered 55 gallons of sap. Looks like the flow will be better starting today.
I am tapping 50 trees tonight and 50 more tomorrow. Let the fun begin.
Tapped early last year. Not doing it this year.
Pulled taps Saturday. Had some sour sap in there.
Went walleye fishing Sunday.
Will finish the last of my syrup tonight.
Should be around 10 gallons.
Pretty good year for us.
Boiled twice this week. Looks like I have one more boil left in me. Will collect and pull taps on sunday.
should have over 100 gallons to do. Should end up around 10 gallons for the year. My...
7.5 gallons is good.
Have about 95 gallons to do tonight. That will get me up to about 6 gallons.
Walleye season should get going Saturday so syrup season will be done then.
I have the sunrise spitfire. 2x4
My wood isn't the greatest this year but get about 18 gallons/hr. Just working the bugs out of it so I know I will do better.
Quality is very good. Looks like...
Maybe you got a little tint from the bark. I have had that a few times.
Got 45 gallons yesterday. Will boil tonight, have about 110 gallons and some concentrate to do.
Got 60 gallons off 100 taps yesterday. Hoping today brings quite a bit more.
Got 25 gallons on 100 taps yesterday. First day it has dripped in a week or so.
Looks like Saturday will be a good day.
Fan didn't help out hardly at all. Pulled out some of the insulation I had at the top of the wall and that helped out quite a bit.
Yes, all outlets are GFI. thanks
I added a fan in the rafters to help. Hopefully that works. Have not boiled since the fan was added.
I tried defoamer for the first time yesterday. One little drop and all the foam went away.
It was actually amazing.
I found two high school kids eyeballing some of my buckets yesterday. Made sure to write the license plate down.
They sped off when they saw me watching them.
Stainless steel Creation in Merril Wisconsin. Will probably ship today if you order soon.
I have 56 taps in as of now. Not a ton of flow. Going to put the rest in Saturday. Looks like a good week coming.
Good luck all.
I put in 35 taps. Couldn't wait any longer. Have a new Evaporator to use.
Flow is poor. I may put a bunch more taps in Sunday. Next week looks good.
I may have to take back my last post. Starting on Friday it looks like there may be a good full week of weather coming.
Anyone going to tap?
