It’s amazing ,sugar making goes from 1 job to another, collecting , RO ing , boiling , it’s just run run run. Sure is fun though. On your 7” press are you running 3/4 hoses ? We are running good up here in the Mt of VT. Good freeze up is on its way.

It's 1 in hose 3/4 would work though. The weather looks like great sugar making but I think it might be a little to late for us.

How can you tell if you have a leak by opening and closing your ball valves?
@dunnfamilymaple76424 ай бұрын
You will hear a woosh of air as the vacuum has leaked off on the woods side.

Why is your reverse osmosus machine in a seperate closet? Im not a maple syrup maker
@dunnfamilymaple76424 ай бұрын
It needs to be heated so it doesn’t freeze and the sugar house is not heated all the time

What size is your canner and bottler? How often do you bottle?
@dunnfamilymaple76424 ай бұрын
It is 18 gallon. I bottle as needed in the off season and after every boil during the season if it is not going in a barrel

Hey the videos are awesome! We are learning a lot. We run a small sugar shack in Winslow Maine. Do you have any contact information that you would share, for some questions…like what size is that little Honda pump??!

I have a quick question, I have about 180 taps on 1 inch mainline and I use a sap guzzler and pull 26 inches of vaccum but I never get even a half a gallon of sap per day on a good day, I was wondering if my 1 inch mainline line is to big and that is why I’m not getting as much sap?

What is the white powder you put into the syrup?
@dunnfamilymaple76424 ай бұрын
It is filter aid that is filtered out in the filter press.

Maple syrup goes great on everything accept….(I’ll let Nate Bissell finish the quote since it’s his lol). Did you all have a lot of run weather this past fall? I was wondering if there is a correlation between late fall freeze thaw (run weather) & if it has any effect on late winter sugar content.
@dunnfamilymaple76424 ай бұрын
we were very wet last summer and well this winter too. Last season we were dry the summer before and the sugar content was up. But who knows what is really causing it
