what time were u there
Hard saying if they will. I bought all my taps at the open house last spring. The only thing I am picking up is my stainless stack and some between the pan gasket
Heading to leader this weekend to pick up my new stainless stack. Way behind the 8 ball this year
Nice lvm how it goes smooth. I am holding out for another couple of weeks.
LVm, you still running the sap puller?
Same here boiled 5 gallons of Amber rich. Woodshed is empty sap is still decent but pulling taps tomorrow. Ended up with 40 gallons for the year. I target 30 gallons each year and beat that so I am...
Allen, I am in the same boat on the sugar content however a bit lower, like 1% Brix. Color was right in the middle between Amber rich and robust but the taste is more sweet with a very slight hint of...
You too al, although the I won't get to clean my tank till sat am and it needs it! Lookin forward to some sweeter sap myself, I have been 1.5 and less all season
I will for sure here buds still tight
Great sap Saturday couldn't keep up but low brix 1.3 or so. Boiled for 12 hours made 6 gallons robust. Up to 25 gallons for the year
yeah I have not had a hard run yet from my trees even with the pump
Just didn't make it here either. Was a steady stream on 200 taps but not much to show for it
Sounds good lake view keep it up. I will be boiling tomorrow as well. Will be my third boil this year. Have 5.5 gallons of Amber rich
Sounds awesome with that 3/16 I might switch over to that in the future
was informed to add a saddle in my mainline just before the pump, and attach lateral tubing to in and directly into saptank so that pump always has sap running through it. Might have to adjust the...
Gotcha, air injection for in the pan. For a second I thought you were working on some kind of bubbler for in your saptank to keep sap from freezing
Bubbler?? Lvm what is this about??
Nope gonna run it first without that just to see if I get better vac after spending allot of time in the woods replacing known leak areas. Then I will install that line
I checked my diaphragm half way thru the year no tears I also have an extra for safety
Why 18" just because of the ladder?
Hey al, great vid. Did u use 3/16 for the ladder? U don't have much snow do you? I have a hard packed 4" maybe
I use a wood poker that cleans the grates out to allow for better airflow with the blower. I rake it about ever 6th firing. Makes a difference
This weather has been unreal. Every time you look ahead a few days and it says high 40's and sun you get pumped up. Then once that day actually arrives, it ends up being 35 degrees and cloudy....
Thanks lvm. Yours sounds different than mine, what is that loud clicking noise? I haven't had that much of a run yet!
