Yes ,Leaders open house,Dominion and Grimm,Lapierre,last year CDL didn’t see fit to be open on the Saturday for some reason
Bricklayer,are you up for a road trip? Thinking of going down and back on the Saturday if you want to carpool? Depending on how my back is feeling,have been dealing with a slipped disc,pinched nerve...
Can’t speak as to paddle style,we have a cdl gear machine,works great,easy to clean up,paid for itself pretty quickly. Probably run 60 plus gallons through it per year
My suggestion would be to get to the open houses end of April if you are able,check out the evaporators in action. I was going to pull the trigger on one of the units you have listed,but once I saw...
Definitely do not stick anything in the holes,it will take the tree much longer to heal
Nothing to write home about here,think the trees are shutting down,checked this evening lots of room in the buckets,didn’t check tubing tank,it was smelling strong at lunchtime. Has Marty been on...
Susan,ours has been cloudy for sometime now,figuring the end is quite near
Welcome Greg. First,what are you using to filter,and second,is your syrup thick enough? Do you move the filter at all while filtering,a definite no no.
Craigwade,made all golden syrup from start to finish last year with the bubbler,turned it off after first 100 gallons made to make darker grades for customers requesting that instead. Now I have a...
Good morning Galena,have used it many many times. I always boil water in the pan after to make sure there’s no trace left in any corners etc.
Also had the chocolate pudding nitre the other day,usually can filter 25 gallons through the filters,now it’s pushing it for 15
Got one bush ready to tap today,pretty sure squirrels will have done more damage by tapping time. Next bush has two large hickory trees down over the mainline and some laterals. Lots of squirrel...
Prayers to a speedy and full recovery Dave. I can understand your hospital situation,one thing COVID-19 taught us is that our medical systems need help
Just thirteen months ago,we brought a beautiful long haired grey tabby kitten into the house. Several months in,like just before Christmas he started having seizures,they told us we would get three...
Hi Dave,no it’s not permeate,it is distilled water from the steam away. How are you doing? Haven’t been on here in months to keep up with the news
My wife uses distilled water for her Keurig all summer long on camping trips. She is saving the bottles in the hope that we can fill them next spring as we literally throw away 1000’s of gallons of...
I installed the light kit from Leader years ago,used a step drill bit,put in a bulb for rough work so it will take the shaking of the pans and hood
Prayers for a full recovery Dave
Made the trip down to open houses,took our teenage neighbor along. First down to Huntington to pick up a used Smoky Lake 2x6 in excellent condition for a really good price,then off to show him the...
With the bubbler system this year,syrup came out all extremely light,pans easy to clean up,as it was a light creamy coloured film on the flues,syrup is crystal clear and sparkling like you would...
Found a used evaporator for my nephew,but there is no way of reversing flow on this 2 x 6, am wondering how you would keep syrup pan clean that nitre won’t burn on?
Thought I’d revive this thread,have done 20 grafts so far this spring. When I was grafting some Wolf apple trees for my sister,she wondered if you could graft dissimilar species together,say peach to...
Crawled inside arch this morning to clean out ash that had blown to back of combustion chamber,under grates,and noticed that firebrick are loose and chipping away after 10 years of hard firing. Can I...
Hi Karen,how are you doing? Great to see you on here. Wasn’t on much during the season,didn’t know if you were active on the forum or not.
