you may want to take a look at the Murphy Cup Smokey Lake sells. The best tool for finishing I have ever purchased.
Yes, planning to stop in to see you. Not sure yet what Chad and Arron are doing yet. How do you think the tap holes we drilled will hold up? Been a month or more for mine.
A question for all the 'old timers'. Did you make maple syrup during the last ice age?
Probably what bothered me most was that she drained the tub. I wish she had called me as I probably could have used the concentrate.

What can we expect from now on in Erie and Crawford PA counties. Will the trees hold up a little longer?

Against my better judgement, I put in 100 taps in fresh trees last Thursday. With the temps in the 20's at night and mid to upper 30's in the day since then, I'm getting the clearest sap I've gotten...
That's my lab retriever Beck. Training her to pick the best trees to tap..haha.
I calibrate or check mine for every test using bottled water that is the same temp as the sap I am testing. If using indoors or outdoors I let the unit come to air temp.
we have frost down to at least 27" here. talked to a backhoe operator..that's what he found. a good rain would help...our snow melt has been pretty much without rain
I have heard that eggs were once used to 'clean' maple syrup. Can anyone tell me what that process involved? just curious.

every year I gather first run sap and put 5 gallons of it in a 6 gallon stainless stock pot on my wood stove in our kitchen we use for heat. I always have a cast iron kettle with water on it for...

I boil till it tastes off. My wife use maple for almost all of her cooking and baking instead of sugar. The off tasting stuff if great for that. My last boil I run a little heavy and she uses that...
what percent concentration should I shoot for from the concentrate coming from my flue pan to my syrup pan? I took a sample from my flue pan just after a draw off and let it cool to air temp (about...
just 5 more lousy degrees..is that too much to ask for?
all my trees are free range..they can come and go as they please..most stay but some try to leave and just fall down.
I have a question..and I really am not trying to tick anyone off..Does reverse osmosis remove any essential minerals from the sap? I have heard that it removes some potassium from the sap for one. ...
