I see Thad last spring. I purchased a sawmill from him.
I haven’t heard from anyone else. Disappeared like I didn’t for a bit I guess 😂
We too had a good run 1900 + 950 over night
Just boiled in and made around 60
Grade has lightened nicely
Keep it rolling
Hey Guys
So happy to be back on here and visiting. I started this thread many many years ago. And have lost track over the year. Started to read on it here and there this year and I’m so glad it’s...
We finally went up on our retail prices. They have been the same for at lease 12yrs.
Customers noticed but never questioned the increase. I think they know how hard things are now, and the constant...
Same song and dance here as well. Still getting over 1gpt, yesterday the sap turn cloudy but went through the RO just fine and the press. Sugar is down to 1.4, and we are making DR now. I’m hoping...
Yesterday’s run was less then expected down here. Ended up with less then 1gpt. Sugar did come up tho so that’s a bonus. Brought it all back to sugarhouse and Roed last night, we will boil it in...
Man if I only had a few thousand trees that put out 3.75 %

Ordered my this afternoon
After a few nice chats with the owner of Sapspy I felt comfortable ordering and trying one out.
Should have it in a day or two. I can’t wait. New toys are fun
Right on general
It’s a great option for the smaller producer. CDL wants nearly $2400 for there basic set up. And this will do the same thing.
I find it would work well. If your searching for a...
Thanks DR Tim.
I would be interested to hear how they work out for you. One of our sugarbushs is 30mins away. And to drive over just to find 200 gallons in the tank. Or worse to find the tank...
We had our first boil this afternoon. We had pulled in a little over 1 gpt in last 24hrs. We don’t have every taped as of today but the 2400 gallons was a good start to get things going on. Ro and...
No oil on these dry claw pumps. I have a MES protection valve. Thought that by shutting off the valve/ closing that would do the job. But it dosnt
Hi guys
Quick question for you. I’m running a new to me Busch mink 1142 this year. Great pump builds nice vac.
My question is, when I shut it down it seems to slow down like normal with the VFD....
Same up here in Weston
South west wind but not sure how it did over night yet.
I will report back later. Between the hours of 12-3 it was coming in very hard. 150+gmp
We used it to flush out...
Is anyone in maple country using a sap spy sensor hub?
Looking for a little insight on it if you could.
Reliability, accuracy, and easy function??
Thank you

We started taping this past weekend. Really tuff going with all the snow and crust here in south central VT. Should have about 1800 in by tomorrow. Looks like I will turn the vac pump on this week as...
Glad we are all on the same page.
Any ideas as to when we get out of this ice box temp trend we are in??
What’s happening in the maple world of Vt?
I’m sure people are getting prepared and have started taping. We will start in a couple of weeks. Looking very much forward to this season. We have built...
Good morning
Does anyone have a price list for buying and selling sap for this season?
Thank you
Pm
Wow 40” of snow last week Friday to now only 5-6” and lots of bare spots in the woods.
Warm rain all day sure did change things a bit.
40”’of snow down here might slow us up a bit. Not looking forward to the snowshoe
I am feeling the same
