I'm in Tolland and I am in the same boat. This freeze is crummy lol
I HOPE today it runs, but under 45 if no sun, it does not run well. The sun on them seems to make a BIG difference.

Colder as short a time as possible. I couldn't boil for almost 5 days, but it was near freezing (under 35, mostly under 32.) I RO'd to about 4-5% so it would fit in my 35 gallon tank that was...
excelent info thank you! and I do use the CV's. I figure the difference in price is about $5-$10 based on the amount of taps I use. I can understand if you have 1000 taps, but for us tiny peoples...

Thanks!!! I am keeping all recipts this year. I did for most last year but not well. this year I am Really going to try and maximize.
After my 1sts collection last night (about 80 gallons) I realized, there is no way I can keep track of all the taps individually, I just don’t have time when I collect. ½ of it I did in the dark as...
This of you with a Sureflo setup, I have about 40ish taps I want to put on vacuum instead of buckets on the ground. My question is, can I put a tank in the relative middle of them, along the...
OK, it is about that time. 2024 is going to be a good year… I hope. I feel like last year I ended up with an OK year based on how rough a season it was weatherwise.
This year I have some new...
Hey... welcome! I wad there too!
Also in Northern CT... Interesting about the Red's I did not have GREAT luck with my Red's this past season and my silver gave almost nothing.
So last year I tapped this weekend. I was looking at the weather, thinking I should this weekend again, but now it looks TOO warm so I am going to wait until next weekend as of now.
Last year, I...
I know its an older thread BUT...
I use my 12 x 16 shed (2 years old now) to boil in as well. I bought it with a garage door on 1 end, and a double door on the side along with 2 small windows. I...
I don't know if this helps as I use an RO Bucket but I would think the concept is the same.
I have a large 65 gallon tank that I put the sap into. I run the concentrate back into that tank and...
I THINK this is the right section :-p
So, I want to do a little data collection. I have 35-40 trees, that I tap with a total of about 50 taps. I used the saptapapp last year for totals, however...
Sorry, forgot to come back and reply to you. I appreciate it! The EXACT info I was looking for. As Usual, the Dr saves the day :-p
I searched but had no luck on this oddball question. Is there any evidence or documentation on having the pH balanced close to 7 vs in the 5’s?
Extended life of the tree
Higher yield per tree...
NICE!
The guy I tap with keeps wanting to add more taps because the yields have been relatively low. In CT the season (based on past years) we are just starting now so I think we got spoiled with...
Exactly what I was about to say. My min is 10 gallons of .5% because of the RO. If it is less than 10 gallons and .5% or under I toss it. If it is above that in %... I just recirculate into the...
I feel your pain. Yesterday I got 30 out of my 60 or so taps, and 17 the day before. Before that, I don't think i had any since Tuesday or Wednesday last week. What a weird year.
Oh I laugh in general at the Organic, 1/2 if it is a scam and not done properly, AND people don't understand what organic means. Here is a perfect example. i bet 99.9% of people who buy mostly...
I agree ESPECIALLY in plastic containers people are just looking for flavor.
Bingo! I submitted last year and WON 1st place in a local fair.
Congrats!
I have the same tale that is way older than me lol.
I started with about 5-6 taps year 1 in a chafing dish, and 4 years in I have 60+ taps, a divided pan, a grumpy wife, an RO,...
So I know that if you use DE in filtering it is not adding it to the syrup, but is it still considered organic? Like Legally, I am sure it is fine to use as far as food grade (or is that a bad...
Mine was ok. got about 35 gallons on 60 or so taps. I am expecting today to run well as long as the wind doesn't pick back up. I think that's why we didn't not have a GREAT run yesterday. Plus,...
