Check on the maine maple producer website for the dealer near you I got the powder and just a pinch in the flue pan when it starts to foam and it is gone almost immediately.
I use corn oil. Just add a few drops when you are worried that the pans will boil over.

Been tapping here in Lyman NH since 1989 but I've been sugaring since 8 years old in 1968.
Use a stick of butter. Just run it along edge of pans and no more foam. Instant.

If you sell syrup DO NOT USE BUTTER. There are many with a milk allergy and not many would suspect it in syrup.Originally Posted by jmp

Chef, Paris Farmers union in Portland (outer Washington ave) has some supplies. I picked up a small bottle of it today actually and it was the only one I saw. Give them a call. They are really the only game in town for syrup stuff near us. Otherwise you gotta head to vassal borough . The defamer I got was made by leader.

How does one use that bottle of leader defoamer by the way? Assume you are using this in your syrup pan only??/ or?
First year with dual pans and a bigger rig, figured I needed to have it handy for the small cost...with that said, unsure how to use it,.
