Thanks everyone for the input. Just wanted to be sure before I purchase an R.O. I know just a small change in the process sometimes can change the finished product and I definitely don’t want that.

Thank you Dr. Perkins. I was hoping you would be the one to answer my question. Although I wish it was absolutely no, rather than generally no.

Is there any difference at all of sap that has passed through R.O. and sap that is just boiled?

Tapped today 2/12/20.

Question..... does anyone steam sap off on their home wood stove. No boil but kind of just slow simmer. Just keeping adding to it.

Good run around the 20th to the 26th. Then again this past weekend but the snow is making it tough to collect. I just use propane burners 3 of them. I usually get about 4 gals or so a year. Fun to...

Good run today in Great Meadows.

I going with 16th & 17th this year.

So when is everyone thinking of tapping this year (2019). Each year I tap and it is usually to early or to late. I’d like to be just right this year.

I'll be optomistic. I think we're still going to get a few good runs.

Anyone else getting ready for the new season?
Hobbiest 5 gal. Or so /year.

O.K. What's the plan for 2017 sap season?

Small operation 2-3 hundred gals sap / year. How long can almost finished sap be stored or collected before final finishing?

So far great year. 1 question. What is the best way to filter your syrup? I have used prefilters and the cloth type filters. They all just seem to block up very fast. Filtering takes for ever. Any...

Flowing now. Got 65 gallons out of 24 taps in 24 hrs on Thursday. Slow today.

Got 15 gal. Out of 24 taps on Monday. Hardly a drop since.

What do you eat when your spending hours boiling off sap and no time to cook?

Any reason that some of my trees (sugars) put out brownish sap and some clear?

Where do you buy your tubing. 5/16th.

Looks like it's Wednesday for me. Gotta start sometime.

How's your 275 evap work? It looks good. Thinking about trying to build one this year.

Think I'm going to do it this weekend too. Ever have problems with taps drying out if you tap to early?

Thanks. This is basically what I was asking. Maybe I didn't word it quite right.

Any thoughts on making maple syrup moonshine?

What is everyone doing to get ready for 1st flow? When are you tapping?

I know it's early but I'm done.Had a great year, Made 4 gallons. Plenty for all the family. Flow was great the last week. Now it's on to firewood and tending the bee hives.
