I have a 2x3 divided pan and when I pulled it off the arch and drew the last of the syrup off I filled the pan with water. There is alot of sugar residue in the pan and it is very sticky do you think...

I wouldn't wait for them to thaw just pull the ice out. I have found most sap ice is 1/2% sugar or less. The concentrate left under the ice is usually 4% or sometimes higher. I have heard it referred...

I have found that the more prefiltering you do the better. Run your syrup off the evaporator into 2 prefilters then let it sit in a 5 gallon bucket for a week or two and most of the sugar sand will...

Here are clear plastic bottles intended for maple syrup and the price is right. https://freundcontainer.com/pet-plastic-maple-syrup-bottles/?v10312-B

I would imagine any clear plastic honey containers would work....

Smoky lake makes a gasket just for that it's like a 1/8 x 1 or 2" piece of flat steel wrapped in I think ceramic gasket and what looks like woven pan gasket. Looks like a good setup

I saw that also and thought the same thing. Heck the glass bottle is probably over $1 each if you tried to bottle with that. I sell locally to those who want it and i am not the cheapest by far but I...

Interesting.....I was planning on 1 small stick per 12 or 16 oz bottle and keeping it in the bottle but maybe that will be a bit too much.

Will the home depot phosphoric acid cut it? They sell it in 32 oz bottles. Do you have to dilute it and if so by how much? I would buy regular maple pan cleaner but the nearest supplier is pushing 2...

It was a very diluted ratio I want to say 50:1 or 100:1 but I can't remember

The only reason I used muriatic acid is I came across a pan cleaning guide from Bascom's or one of those big outfits and it worked great but like I said I cant seem to find the paper I printed off a...

I was thinking of experimenting with Apple maple syrup. I was going to set aside a gallon of maple syrup and get 5 gallons or so of Apple cider or juice and boil it down together to the right density...

Wow I hope you have alot of help I couldn't imagine dumping 350 bags a day that's a full time job in itself!

I appreciate the feedback that's the type of information I was looking for. Understandably why go through all that trouble filtering out sugar sand to have crystals forming onnthe cinnamon. I will...

Hi I'm looking for the right ratio of muriatic acid to water ratio to clean my pan. I have tried fermenting sap and using vinegar which works "OK" but I used a dilution of muriatic acid a few years...

Ok..........

Yea I don't plan to market it and I know it will settle I just figure I would shake it up. The flavor should still infuse as it is particles of cinnamon in syrup the only difference I see is the...

You can also get a good Dayton blower on Amazon and add a router variable control speed switch from harbor freight

I was lucky enough to find a used Harman add on blower kit on eBay for around $60 shipped. It has a fully adjustable speed control also and works great

I posted previously about cinnamon infused syrup with sticks of cinnamon. Has anyone tried using ground cinnamon instead of sticks? If so how did it turn out or compare. I plan to bottle in 12oz...

I will add one thing I do now is let my syrup sit in my bucket for a week or two before I finish and bottle it. There will be about 1/2" of nasty sludge at the bottom and I let that go. It has made a...

I too would like a filter press as I usually bottle in glass and end up especially towards the end some cloudy syrup. Although this year went exceptionally well with a cone filter and about 5...

I use a Polaris ranger 500 with 2 55 gallon plastic drums strapped to the bed. It works great. I installed bulkheads and a plastic valve to the bottom of each drum so when I unload into my tank I...

I bought my reducing fitting from global industrial online. I think it reduced to 1" or 3/4 then I got a stainless reducer to 1/2 and ran that into PEX into my sugar shack. They have a lot of...

And my tank stays outside so sometimes with the freeze my line into the sugar shack freezes so I have to bucket it to the preheated. How would that work with in RO when it's freezing out?
