Thanks Nate
I just called Bascom's this morning and they quoted me 2.50/lb for "field run" dark robust in 55g drum. I'm not familiar with the field run term. I called another producer here in Maine and dark...
I bricked to within a 1/2 inch of the flues for their whole length. The arch is all brick, no vermiculite or other filler. Once that all gets hot, you have that thermal mass to help maintain the...
[QUOTE=Mead Maple;379651]You will always have problems, not enough sap, not enough wood, too much sap, not enough time. It is a vicious cycle but here we all are back again for the punishment and...
Tin Man,
You must have degree in marketing....
There are corks referred to as tasting corks, t top corks, mushroom corks. They are designed to be removeable. Google will show you all sorts of them. I used some this year.
I have 2 20 gallon poly water tanks that I carry on my atv for sap collection. I took one, hooked up one of my shurflo pumps to it and the battery I use for a remote vac system. plumbed it in at the...
I decide to go with 13/ pt and 25/ qt. It's flying out the door with rave reviews.
Got a large list of tweaks to do do over the summer.
Grand total for the year is 31 gallons of dark robust. Couldn't have done it without the RO bucket RB-15 kit and the Shurflo pumps.
Very pleased with how it all went. Next year will be a whole lot...
I’m done. 100 gallons of sap Thursday, 100 more Friday, 50 or so overnight. Concentrated and boiled today. Have 20 gallons of 90% syrup to finish tomorrow. 17.5 already bottled. A good season...
I bought the same press this year also. We were using 3-4 cups for 10-15 gallons. It works like a charm. The DE cakes came out at about a 1/4 inch think when we finished. We premixed it well and...
When I had my boatyard I had a guy bring his diesel engine in to rebuild. It had swallowed salt water and he had left it sit in the barn over the winter(brilliant). It took a week to get 4 pistons...
110 I think. She knows, I’m just the hired help..
The 4 longest runs go up and over the hill behind the shack. Probably a 150 -200 ft elevation change. One run has to pull uphill behind the crest...
Get some 3/16 tubing, a shurflo pump and a larger sap tank. You’ll wonder why you waited so long....
That’s AWESOME!!
Collected a 100 gallons today and it’s working it’s way through the ro as I type. Made 60 gallons of concentrate last night so I could boil tonight. I’m gonna pull the plug this weekend as it’s...
I too would consider a 1/2 pint just an individual serving, same way I see a pint of Ben and Jerry’s...
I set up 3 shurflo pumps this year. 2 are being driven by a 110v x 12v power supply from Amazon ($20). 1 line goes about 700 ft, another one 500+/-. They go to one pump that pulled 25 inches of vac...
Chris,
I agree with you. I sell primarily pints. I've been at $10 for a few years. Moved to my current location 2 years ago and finally got everything set and organized this year. Spent a ton of...
I guess I should have worded my question differently. Having been in both the wholesale and retail marine businesses for work for 30 plus years I was only trying to see where people were at. I'm very...
So where are we all this year for pricing? I'll just be selling pints and quarts.
RMC , I would suggest at least 1more row behind the “wall” . You want the flame to be in contact with the pan bottom as long as possible.I got a 2x3 Mason about 6 years ago. I built the arch starting...
I bought a 5/16 single side tool when I started this business. Made my own 5/16 2 sided tool year before last. Splitting the 5/16 and slipping it over the 3/16 works perfectly. Cut the 5/16...
Split the 5/16.
Works like a charm.
