Tapping in Durham
Keeping my eye on the 10 day forecast and it looks like we may be in a good temp cycle starting Jan 22nd. Thinking of tapping next weekend. Spending this weekend getting the equipment cleaned and ready to go.
Durham Sugarhouse started in 2002 with six taps, aluminum foil pans on the BBQ and finishing the syrup on the stove until the steam blew up the microwave above the stove.
For the 2016 season:
- Sugarhouse 12'x20'
- New pump house 2014 12' x 20'
- 650 Taps on vacuum
- 2'x 6' Leader evaporator
- Springtech 200 gph reverse osmosis
- 2016 - 205 gallons
