Lamoths will be there, Norms is there. I believe Leader, CDL and another brand of product is there 4-6 vendors. typically have all our needs covered. if you need something special or extra, call ROb...
Mark, post some pix so these folks can see some of the amazing things you have created!
Um, i take those "teaser days" seriously! hahhahahaahahah
I spoke with Daryl today and ordered my 5" hand pump. The information i have read on this thread is invaluable! Thank you to all, I can't wait to start using the pump this weekend. I'll let you know...
good point! thank you for the correction.
So tonight i finished a 1.75 gallon batch and got some DE from another local producer. I finish on propane, so after taking the last hydrometer reading, i turned off the gas, dropped in 1/2C and...
Great advice! thank you, just another demonstration of how great this community is! Looking at new pre-filters now.
its somewhat refreshing to hear all this. I have literally been losing my mind. I bottled it tonight in plastic jugs as its still not right. i didn't get the DE but will have it for the next batch...
i have arranged to get some DE tonight to try..will post back with results through gravity.
We are using cone filters, and i know exactly what you mean regarding the different materials...i am not happy with this years filters from the company i bought them from (not leader, or...
Can you show me a photo of how you are using the flat filters inside the coffee urn please?
Is anyone doing this during the 2018 season? WOuld love to hear more from you if true!
Hi,
yes we are filtering and keeping bottle temp at appropriate temp to fill. We have had great success, warming the urn, while syrup gets to proper BRIX, and also heating bottles in a 200 degree...
Its interesting you mentioned both of those ideas, as that is what i am researching today. obviously for a home "hobbiest" i want to keep costs down, and don't know what the press costs, but the...
Hi,
thank you for your comments, this coffee urn is dedicated to syrup, while it probably had coffee in it years ago, for the last 3 years its been syrup only. I have a 5 gallon bucket with a space...
Guys, its back! I am now way beside myself. Tonight was a nightmare and I'm very confused. I boiled down a 70 gallon batch last night, and finished off on propane tonight, took about an hour to get...
Resolved! after buying a new cloth filter and many pre filters, i unbottled everything, and re warmed to 190 and filtered through the new filters (5 pre filters stacked in the new cloth filter). This...
yes, i know, and agree, and will probably say that. i will look for used ones, as you suggest i will get the $ back.
i had thought of that as well, the coffee urn is unplugged before the syrup hits it. i heat water in the coffee urn to get it to temp, then empty the water into a separate pot (for cleaning the...
I will go to a local CDL distributor in my area and get new filters today. Regarding keeping them wet/moist before filtering, how are you doing that? currently i am getting the lower third of the...
its funny you ask...tonight my 3 thermometers all died on me. I know that batch 1 was 221.4 before it got to 59 BRIX on the hot line of the hydrometer. tonight, i really don't know, but it was right...
Maple Trader Community, HELP!
I am starting my 3rd year of sugaring, and thought i dialed in my process of filtering syrup. in 2018 i started using an RO, and can not get my syrup clear. I batch...
Been wondering why things have been so quiet? Through DM's i have with other CT sugar makers, it's funny...people asking why the forum is so quiet? Too early is probably the most popular answer, and...
My third year of sugaring also, and through great threads here, and other internet searches for DIY tools, i've attempted to make one as well. Parts were $53 at a home store, and my buddy spent about...
