I've tried a couple different $30-$50 digital thermometers that do not last. Any suggestions for a quality long stem digital thermometer for a decent price?
Thanks, Braden

What is the conversion rate when substituting white granular sugar for maple sugar in cooking and baking?

Has anyone ever made maple coated apples? I'm thinking something like caramel apples. Any ideas on how to do it?

Tapped Jan. 30th. First boil Feb 8th. 2450 taps. 1000 gal syrup. 4.5lbs per tap. Best season ever! Cousin in Indiana made 13 lbs per tap on a new tubing system in a 1200 tap bush:)

I bought 10 30 gallon food safe epoxy lined steel barrels in feb of '12. They were new and the lining inside the barrels had a strong smell. We didn't use them because we were scared the syrup would...

Bellfountaine and marysville are 2 of the bigger towns. west liberty is a small town. I live about 45 minutes from logan county. Was working over there last week.

I like mine- its the only one i've ever used but it worked great for me. Only used it one year. I thought it was pretty easy to use too.

Buckeye Mapler, i'd be glad to talk to you. i'm a half hour north of dayton.

I custom boil about 300 taps for my cousin. We check sugar content, gallons. He gets half the syrup and pays for his jugs.

Hello, we made 255 gallons of this year and after figuring up sap gathered and sugar content my records show that we made 325 gal. We have to truck all the sap from three bushes so if we are off on...

I am looking for a filter press for next year and am wondering what size i need? 1300 taps this season, could have 2000 in '11. i don't want to outgrow it. Thanks for any advice!

Calibrate it to zero in stirred boiling water, after it goes around once.

I'm no expert but i doubt it. I run my 3x10 draft wide open with no blower. I assume that most people always run their's wide open.

Is anyone going to the Ohio maple producers meeting Nov.13? Have you gotten anymore info on it like registration forms?

I plan on using 6-7 sap ladders in my system and I am wondering if that will cut down on the efficiency of the vacuum? pump is 20 cfm, 25 hg's.

I got mine from a Maple Pro dealer that i get all my supplies through. They're 1''-12''-36'' and cost about $11 per sheet.

I would definitely put one or the other in. I used arch board. It was easy to use. Cuts with a utility knife.

Last year was my first with my evaporator so i was trying to get it all figured out. I started at 2'' and wasn't getting very good gph. I went to 1.25''-1.5'' and gained 10 gph. Maybe with your...
