There has been a lot of talk about bottling units in the form of coffee urns which work for the small guys. I found a new unit and would like some feedback pros & cons. It has a manual perk vs warm...

We had Mike Rusell do our company website and he is as we speak working on our maple site. His cost was very reasonoble. We found finding someone with the knowledge about how search engines and tags...

Brenemens Maple in Salisbury PA has the 8 and 12 oz flat bottles for around $ 9$ a case. Was there this week loading up on them. It shouldn't be to far of a drive. He has others in...

I spoke with a dealer in PA and he said I would be OK. I flushed the lines from the top with water and it took care of most of it. The next batch of syrup came out fine no off flavor or smell. I'm...

I just put up some new mainline black 100 psi Water line 1" and the sap has a plastic taste. Picked it up a TSC in 300' rolls and it was sealed on both ends. I am going to dump the sap and run a few...

What all does Mike Lynch have? is it a storefront? or something akin to Henry's?

Looks like I'm going all in tomorrow. The next ten days nights look to have the lows in the 20's and highs in the 40's. Did a test boil last weekend and I am still tweeking a few things. I still...

sugarshak it's a little early for us, still waiting on winter. hek I still need to build my conc arch for this year. Hopefully last year in temp quarters for this production. how far are you...

I wouldn't think a small amount would be a problem. Gallons yes. I spent a good part of my youth on St John which was just across the channel from there. The biggest problem might just be they...

At my last house we could not get a well so we used a concrete tank (cistern) with an epoxy paint and it worked quite well. I would think the same princple would work for sap. The top has a large...

Try going to a paint store and buy a test kit called lead check. Home depot or Lowes sometimes has them. You break the center glass and squeeze the liquid out onto the swab and rub on the soddered...

Most people who responded to this thread ragged on loggers I was looking for what should be a standard expectation as to how a logger leaves and area. Petersp22 and Tuckermtn since you are in the...

For the last 9 months I have had a logger working on removing pines and select hardwoods. The pine removal was good but the select timbering was hard to take (skinned a lot of maples). Last week he...

We will all be criminals before this is all over, and this is what the goverment wants. You have to be a lawyer or have one on retainer to protect your intrests before you go to work in the morning....

A little safety FYI. I used to be a professional tree climber and have cut about 20 cords a year for the last 30 yrs without any serious mishaps but I received a reality check a few weeks ago. That...

Great story This is what we all should be doing and I love the qoute ( A man never stands as tall as when he kneels to help a child.) We should all think about that more often rather than letting...

I went to that festival last year Keyser) and you are right. They had an 18x36 hobby eveporator boiling water. Was mostly a craft fair. When I went in to buy the kids pancakes in the...

Hey Mark don't forget Hampshire counties 1 lone producer.:lol:

Haynes is right I use a few short runs to a bucket with a 7/16 hole on the side of a bucket and run the leader 5/16" tubing in through the side. It will give you cleaner sap. Of course this will get...

At 30 gal hr you should be fine with 1/2" as I'm not running 1/4 capacity but I would run 30 or more feet wrapped. start with a few screws into the flue so you can get the grade right on the coil...

I am on 2x6 flat pans with a blower. I would guess about 15 gal hr so I am using only a small stream in when boiling.
