We got our first boil in today. We grabbed about 90 gallons on monday. There was just enough cold here to kick start it. I will finish it tomorrow morning. Better weather seems to be coming.20170228_211150.jpg

5 quart synthetic cone filter with several prefilters. It's not the most efficient but it works for now. Once the rest of my operation is Whete I want it, I will tackle filtering. But it 'polishes' the syrup for presentation in glass.20170302_174710.jpg
i havent posted much because we just havent had the weather for a good run. even after a cold spell, we are getting minimal flow. we just have to wait until they release.
