    Default Boil happening right now !!

    Well, I got my 45 or 50 gallon barrel full this a.m......YEEHAA !!

    I started my arch juts after 12 p.m. and had a boil by 12:30.

    This is my first good attemt to figure out my GPH,,,my barrel is empty, but I have (think) 3 5 gallons in garage waiting to go into head tank, and then watever is in the pan, maybe another 5 gallons.

    I am thinking I have boiled 20 gallons in 2 hrs. so 10 GPH, only used the blower no more than 20 mins though today.

    I will repost later how it went, gotta get back outside. Made a coffee and a fast bite to eat, no back to business.

    Later.......

    Well Great minds start at Noon !!

    I kinda stopped for supper and family around 4;30, stopped putting wood in at 4, had my last 5 gallons in the feed barrel, let it simmer during supper and now have it in the house.

    In the pan outside I brought it to 214, then got nervous so into the house I brought it. Been inside an hour now and still away to go. Should have had nerve and let it steam off a bit more after supper.

    It is in 3 pots right now, steaming up the house, lotsa windows open, nice weather here anyways, feels good.

    Current temp is 215, so soon, soon, I say I maybe be filtering and bottling. Kids want to see it before bedtime so I am right on top of everything.

    Pics coming soon.

    218,,,,219,,,,218,,,,,almost.

    My wife would shoot me if she was allowed about the stove,lol.

    Only cause we are getting a new stove, I am allowed to abuse it this week / month. It is a gas stove and hopefully I can put it on propane and bring it to the garage for next season.

    I have the alarm set at 220F, staying away for a couple minutes for my sanity.

    Karen, I hope you get pics later when your done too. I will take pics once I have it filtered and bottled. I have a new filter set-up, lmao,,,should get pic of that too.

    Back in a bit, munchy time, fast little snack.

    Later......
