Before considering a vacuum booster or adding 100' of 2' line. Consider at least a dry line. 1" dry line installed over the 3/4" line would be where I would start. From there I would consider the...

Are you just tapping Route 11 this year. Vaguely remember you tapping a few other orchards. I know you've done and have a ton of work to do. Always seems no matter how much you do there always is...

Will have to say the owner of SapSpy has been nothing but helpful. Super nice guy and more than willing to help with any questions. Also willing to take ideas that one may have to include in...

The SapSpy only is one station, and doesn't connect with others. So it'll give you the basic information you need to make decisions, temperature, vacuum, and % volume in the tank. I could see how you...

i have had the SapSpy in our woods for just over a week now. I think its the best in between option from a wifi camera set up and a full scale monitoring system. I've had great luck with it telling...

I kinda like how your branch mainlines come in at the dry line height and then go down to the wet line. Leave much less of a chance for the sap to lag going into that wet line. I can't do...

I just took over a lease of about 1450 taps. The old system was laid out with 1" main conductors and 3/4" mainlines running off of it. I was planning on putting a 1" dry line in over the top of the...

The new thing is finding what you can add or age your maple syrup in. I've seen and heard people trying blueberry infused maple syrup. Would like to jump on that band wagon as we supply syrup to a...

We recently got inspected and got our seal of quality. In my opinion it was fairly easy to get, granted I waited till we built our new sugarhouse so we could meet some of the requirements. Such as...

We spent MLK weekend with my cousin installing almost all of our electrical work. We have lights on switches and no more temp panel! Its was an awesome and very cold weekend working with friends and...

Certainly a common problem many of us have! As a logger and an arborist, it certainly hurts putting taps into beautiful sawlogs. At the end of the day, I've always gone with my heart and I love...

Guess its times for an update after 3 months. Life gets in the way and we were a little busy everywhere. Last post was about putting up the main posts for the main building. Well we're now about to...

New sugar house is coming along. Hoping to finish it here before the season but am getting worried. Will be a lot of fun being in a new building and having a new RO. We are jumping from a 300gph to a...

Looking to buy some bourbon barrels. Specifically the smaller 5 or 10 gallon ones. Anyone have a source they'd be willing to share or have some for sale. Feel free to get ahold of me 603-504-4121

Here is a little project that's taken me waaaay to long to get this far. Life gets in the way sometimes. Fun little shelving unit, not completed, with a hang rod for clothes, not completed, in our...

So the dirt work is completed and we have a finished driveway, all the edges have been seeded and actually have a pretty good grass growing already. It makes it look much more finished than just...

Its going to be a dream come true after many years discussing it and thinking about it. Its already to small but the main thing is our retail room is twice the size that it was and people flow should...

Thought I should update everyone on the build so far. Pictures are hard to get up and running but its coming along. We now have power poles up, which means power is on its way. a well has been dug....

We do plan on being operational for 2020. Actually kind of have to, since we've told our landlords at the old one we were moving out. We've also moved everything except the arch and the RO out of the...

So after 56 years in the same sugar house, we're moving in. Granted I have not spent 56 years there, I'm the 3rd generation in my family to run that sugar house. We've rented/leased our last sugar...

I will second that they are loud pumps. My set up is difficult to get the back plate off because of where the moisture trap sits. I end up taking the whole vacuum pump off and put it on my tailgate...

So in the last year I've run the gantlet of shipping nightmares this year. I ship about 300 gallons a year to NYC. All of it in 1 gallon containers, packaged in the 4-1 gallon cardboard box taped to...

What size place are you building and for how many taps?

I'm currently working on aging my first barrel ever. Had a 53 gallon barrel given to me and took the chance on how the product would age, and how it would sell. I know that I probably will not do...
