I'm with you Brian. It will come, just be ready. Walked Twitches sugar bush yesterday, the snow has to be 3' deep. Its all waiting to melt slowly and run up the trees right into the buckets and...

I hope all of the NH maple guys have a good weekend. Hoping to take a ride over that way in the next couple of weekends. I would be nice to see you again Russ. May u sap flow well.

The season will be later than usual is my prediction....:). With that said, the season will be good. Just starting later than we are all use to.

Did u get the information j were looking for? If not let me know here and we can set up a time for us to get together. Were all helpful here. Lou.

I can`t seem to find the pod cast that was done with the ALB by the maple guys.. I believe it was in Ohio where they found the beetle and wanted to clear cut all the wood. the month and year would...

Parallel flow pre heats are what we use. And yes your thought process is correct. The sap should be allowed to naturally flow uphill. U never want to have a vapor lock in it so a vent for that is...

We have a 2x6 king Jr and it Evans at 30+ for us right now. That's with a 30" syrup pan.

I have mostly larger trees (24+ ") on buckets with tubing spiders. They run very well when the weather is good. Most good days they run a gallon a tap. My buckets are 4 gallon frosting buckets. ...

As u already know there are 2 schools of thought. In years past i have done the experiment and have found some sugar in the ice.. You can do it yourself if you want. Take the ice out of the bucket...

Ready to rock and roll here. Evap and shanty are ready and 150 in the trees sat. Another 150 today but will boil. Been a rough start with all that has happened this year but were ready now. Will...

Good to see you are moving forward Parker. Good to here from you. Have a great season

Going to work on getting things ready for tapping sometime in the next 10 days. Alot more going on here out of my control. Hope everyone is ready for a great start to the season in the next 10 days.

Nice to here from you Russ. Hope the sap runs 3%. Can't wait to come down and bring a boiling soda.

Good to see you post Brandon. That is a fair amount of sap and should keep you busy for a few minutes. Look forward to seeing more post.

He has it right. I used an old bed frame welded together with the v up and has lasted 4 years.

You will be busy this coming week for sure. Good luck and have fun.

Have used pastry buckets for 10 years now. I used hot water to wash them out dissolves all the sugar and sweet left in them. I only use soap if I have to. They work great for spiders from the tree...

I may be going that way one night this week after work. Send me a P M with ur name and number. Will contact u. Brain said it best tap all the maples and boil the sap. It all taste great.

ended up with 20'' here. sure does look like a normal winter here. Now for a normal spring for the sap to flow.

Your wood stove is for heating the house and a controlled burn for max heat output over a period of time. With an evaporator you want as much heat as quick as possible to makeit pans boil hard. So...

if you were to ask me I would say that that is left over foam that syuck to the edge of the pan. even if you skim you sometimes leave a little behind. Could be sugar sand but looks to stringy.

check out saphauler channel on you tube. 50 taps on 5/16 tubing

I have buckets and mainline and have changed all over to 5/16, except for a couple show me buckets. To get to the topic I have not seen a large reduction in sap from changing to the 5/16. This is...
