Officially done for the year. 570 taps on vacuum and 200 bags. We ended with 356 gallons of syrup. Sugar content in the sap was good all year consistently staying around 2.5-2.7. I would say I...

I'm just on the north side of Wausau and we are at about 20% of a crop so far. We have finished 70 gallons and last year we had our last boil on the 2nd of April. Really hoping the next 2-3 weeks...

It wasn't that many years ago that bulk syrup was selling for far less money than it is today. We sure liked seeing it in the upper $2 a pound range but i can remember when it was in the low $1 to...

Installed a new feed pump and motor and things seem to be running good. My pressure runs right around 200psi and I never let P1 get over 210psi as that over amps the motor.

Started the Vac pump at noon yesterday and had only pulled in 275 gallons by 4:30pm. Went out at 8am this morning and there was 900 gallons in the tank. Should run all day today and should have...

No. It stays right around 150 psi and between gauge 1 and gauge 2 it stays with in 10 psi of each other.

We are running the 250. We have owned it for 2-1/2 years and its blown at least three times. If I were you I would still go ahead with your purchase as the CDL guys are great to deal with and are...

We have a CDL Hobby RO that keeps blowing up the Feed pump. Wondering if anyone has had this issue and if so what can be done to make it last through a full season. We are doing all the things...

On just shy of 600 taps on 26" of vac we pulled in 2,600 gallons of sap between Sunday afternoon and 9 pm last night when we finally shut the pump down. Crazy run and now a few days to get caught...

We have taken in somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500 gallons of sap to date. Not awesome but I think we made the right decision. We will have a little over 50 gallons of syrup after its all...

I have 600 taps on high vac. and we made the decision to go for it. We will have everything tapped by 10 am on Saturday. I hope we are making the right decision. Good luck

Went out this afternoon and put some taps in. By far the earliest I've ever put taps in but the weather is feeling right. Hope we are making the right decision and can start boiling on Sunday.

We stuck to a maximum of 50 taps per star fitting. We did make sure that we had the smallest of a leak at the first tap after the ladder to get the sap to move. Our woods for whatever reason is...

Officially done boiling for the year. 380 gallons of syrup made on 580+- taps. Learned a lot this year about vacuum. We were able to stay between 27.5" and 28.5" at the releaser all year which I...

Its been a good year so far. We have a new Airtech Vacuum pump that works awesome. We have bee sitting right around 28" the entire season. We have somewhere around 580 taps in and have made 225...

Well we have been really busy trying to stay caught up with the warm weather we had, I ended up having to take a day and a half of vacation just to get our sap through before it spoiled. We have...

I now have 151 gallons of syrup made and things are looking really good for next week. I have enough sap right now to make around 30 more gallons of syrup which we will get done between tonight and...

I've got 32 gallons of syrup made and another batch to finish tonight (should be 6 or 7 gallons). started the pump at 11 this morning and they were flowing good. Expecting to have 800 gallons of...

Well after only getting 800 gallons of sap from Saturday 3-7 through Friday 3-13 another 200 gallon day on Saturday 3-14 and then Sunday 3-15 was good with 800 gallons. That's all on 450 taps on...

We ended up tapping the vacuum line this weekend. 462 taps in. Not much happening yet only a few damp holes. I would think by Wednesday we can turn the pump on but we will see.

Anyone started tapping yet? I am thinking next weekend we will be getting our vacuum taps in as accuweather is calling for upper 40's by the end of the following week (March 12 and 13). We were out...

We just purchased a CDL HOBBY RO 200GPH. When doing the wash cycle how long should it be taking to get to the 84 degree shut off temp? We are in a remote location and run off a generator (so we...

In answer to your question #2 we finished off roughly 212 gallons with flat pans. We start in a 4ftx8ft pan and we cook down whatever we collected that day. The next day we transfer that into our...

105 taps in and no sap yet. Putting about another 700 in this weekend hope something starts soon.

We probably have in the neighborhood of 100 pans for local guys. We are a sheetmetal shop in central Wisconsin and have made these for people that stop in and ask us to build them a pan. We do not...
