Life happened so I only ended up with a few taps on 3/16” gravity. I pulled and sanitized today with 10ml syringes and a 2L Pepsi bottle. For the taps I just squirted 10ml into each one. For the...

Depending on how crusty it is you might just need something a bit more abrasive. I used baking powder and a couple tablespoons of salt to remove burned sugar from my pot. Even if you do scratch it...

I left a batch of near syrup with my husband to watch so it didn’t burn and he told me he “caught it just in time”. I poured something very similar to Guinness out of the pot into a mason jar. I...

I’m in Georgian Bluffs just north of Owen Sound and this will be my first year tapping. I have 9 taps on a gravity line running straight to the back of my house and we’ve had a couple warm days but...
