Thanks for the video, I have the parts to add a recir line coming, after your first needle valve where you set the pressure to around 110, then you split the concentrate line, one leg to the pump...

Thats perfect, I probably have most of the part for this. thanks

This is my second year, I got my 2x5 divided flat pan late in the season last year, and I just had a couple of boils on it.
This year I have a head tank feeding into the pan and having trouble...

I have the RO 15, and it has a 40gph pump and won't support over the 3 membranes it came with, according to the RO bucket page.
I would like to add a larger pump and 2 more membranes. I would like...

How much increase in concentration do you get with a recirculation loop.
I have one of the RO bucket Kits with (3) 8GPH membranes.
It doubles the brix now, but I am only starting with about 1.3%...

Thanks for the info, I wasn't sure how much over 66.9 was too much, I have it in the refrigerator, so I will mix it in with the next batch and get it all to 66.9 before I bottle.

I tapped 57 on 3/16th tubing on the 16Th and I collected about 160 gal of sap and had my first boil of the year yesterday
I got my pan sweetened and had 1 small syrup draw and waiting on more sap:D

I just had my first boil of the year yesterday, had about 160 gal of sap, got my pan sweetened and had 1 small syrup draw before I ran out of sap and it was about 2 points heavy, I have it in the...

To start off, this is my 2nd year, made a little over 6 gal's last year and I canned it in Quart jars, and the best I could tell it was a 66.9 brix and it is all keeping fine.
This year I have a...

Thanks everyone for the links, I am going to order a digital bbq one with a probe, I think it will make the process a lot easier

That's what I was looking for, a way to be more accurate with the temps, I was looking at the BBQ thermometers, wasn't sure how they would work,
I think I would like something digital, so it would...

I was going to tap some, but broke a CV joint on my side by side that I haul sap with, waiting on parts, maybe that was a good thing to make me wait

Looking at the forecast, I was thinking about tapping some, anybody else

mine was damp also, I had to spread it out and let it dry, but it did make sugar.
Thats why I don't think I was very accurate on my temp.
Going to buy a thermometer, just don't know what to buy

made my first sugar a couple days ago, I just done a quart and it turned out great.
I used a cheap dial probe thermometer and I don't think I was very accurate on my temp
What does everyone use...

I am in Lawrence Co, my 2nd year, Tapped on Jan 9th last year, i had 37 on two 3/16 lines and boiled on a block arch and steam pans
This year I built a shack and an arch and bought a 5' divided pan...

I looked up FRP, boy that stuff is pricey!
I wasn't really wanting to cover the wood, was just wondering if I should seal it with some kind of waterproof sealer

I started last year with 27 taps on 3/16 tubing, boiled on a concrete block arch with steam pans and liked it enough to build an arch and bought a 2 x 5 divided pan.
Just finishing up a 12 x 14...
