I take down a line each year. It's probably about 600 ft long. First I cut off the taps to get them out of the way then I just start at the bottom and work my way up wrapping the line around my arm...
I think I figured out the problem with my bad batch. Last night I took about a gallon off the front pan and took it in the house to finish on the stove. There was no bad smell while boiling inside...
I am in Hartland, using 3/16 tubing. The sap was collected Saturday evening and boiled Sunday morning and then more collected and boiled Monday. My hill is mostly northfacing and still has a fair...
The syrup I made tonight has a pretty bad flavor to it. It tastes floral to me. Is this typical of buddy sap or maybe ropey syrup or maybe something else caused it? I've never had any syrup taste...

Thanks for the info guys, I'm really just looking to speed up the process so I guess a small ro is something I should research more. Being able to get 5 to 10 gph off a barrel or oil tank arch I'm...
Currently I'm using a 2 burner camp stove (30,000 btu each) with 2 pots, getting about 2.5 gph, a 20# tank is lasting about 7 hours.
After boiling on propane for my second season I am seriously considering upgrading for next year. I only have about 30 tapable trees on my property so I won't need anything too big, but I have a few...
Thanks for the help and info, I'm sure I will have many more questions as my little hobby grows. It sure is fun and rewarding.
Hi all,
This is my first year tapping my own trees, I'm using buckets this year. I'm glad I found this site and the wealth of info you all have. After reading a lot about it on here I'm thinking...
