Ya what she said
Hello nice to be back. Niter is not a problem for me I can filter it. What I am seeing in the bottom of my finishing pan this year looks like mud. Also the foam has a red tinge? Anybody
Hey Ya'll been a weird year, only made 5 gallons and already dealing with maple mud
should have five times as we made so far.
That's crazy, fun efficient but crazy
Okay boys and girls, time to get the drill out on Otty Lake
An all round good year with plenty of sap, very little sugar content in the sap though. We finished with 50 litters not as good as last year but better cleaner syrup. Looking forward to The Festival...
Man there is a lot of sap this year....b I have to boil ot down to 20% sugar and store it. Fun times but hard work
I think flat pan wood fired syrup no (ro) is worth more. We get $80.00 per gallon. $12.00 for 500 ml
Hello Ladies, frustrating for sure I made two gallons so far and today it ran for two hours and then the rain and wind started. Rain is okay but the trees do not run when it's windy. SUNDAY will be...
Nice, Looks good enough to eat
What a great day at Maple Fest last Saturday
even with bad weather in the morning we over sold our expectations
Thank You
They cut it into six foot sections and make skipping ropes with them
I get the wood and it is a yearly fee, from what Brad just told me it is not a good deal. Thank you
Syrup is a hobby for us, I give my neighbors a bottle as a favor plus they put up with the noise of our ATVs running in an otherwise quiet environment. One of my close neighbors offered me a deal,...
Did not know where to post this but our house has never had ants, this year we have them crawling on our syrup bottles. Good thing we sell bug-tek it appears to have killed off the ants. Anobody...
I agree with the above BUT It is easier to filter syrup at 62 to 63 Brix and then re-boil it to 66 then bottle it.
only 65 more years at this and I can retire
We will be at booth 152 Market Square www.gardenscene.ca
Is that how you make smokey syrup? Toxic smokey only try it once recipe. may even get a vist from a bear.
Perfect then I should re-package it in 500 mil bottles so I can get it on a plane. And pay for a vacation down south. We go to Costa Rica wonder what it's worth there? Who needs clothes just fill...
That is what I thought, I only saw 3.7 and 4 litter bottles at the supply store.
I also should add that he has a big evaporator 4 by 6 fluted pan? He just told me that when he was alone boiling he kept on adding sap to near syrup waiting for help to draw off. Would that not...
It was bottled at 190 to 200, we built a couple of stainless pails with pour spouts that we keep at a low flame when bottling
I helped bottle one batch and it too clouded up. I would hate to have...
My neighbor just showed me his syrup in mason jars. It's quite dark and when the bottle is turned upside down you can see a glob float down like a cloud the size of a lime in a one liter mason jar. ...
