We think it will be. Thanks for watching!

That is a good idea. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and subscribing! We have lots more videos in the pipeline.

Merry Christmas to you too!

Thanks for watching! How many trees do you tap?

Thank you, hope you enjoy our videos.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

Yes it will be interesting to experiment with some bbq sauces with the maple vinegar. Time to pull out the grill.

My new smoker is ready to go!

Do you have a blank plate? If so you can use it to cut off half of your press, flush one half then pull the clean half and move the dirty half forward and clean that. Very hot water has the best results, as soon as your done filtering. Don't let the press get cold, I have done that and its very hard to flush water through at that point. Hope this helps, if it does let me know.

@Sawyersmaple I always use hot water. I could pull the clean ones, slide the syrup laden ones forward with the end plate and put the clean plates in the back and I'd think that works. I usually only filter as I bottle throughout the year so I try shortly after getting filtered syrup to the canner but then the press hits the backburner while til I'm done bottling

Yes indeed, we are looking to buy property of our own and set up a new maple farm. Know anyone who would be interested in this one?

@@Sawyersmaple wow that's crazy. I don't know of anyone. I am on the coast in a small town called Gouldsboro. Long way from Jackman.

@@AaronScottWestBayMapleCo Well if you ever need bulk maple syrup for your customers and markets, just let me know. Thanks for watching.

300 CFM and 27-28 inches of vacuum.

Hi Mill Gap Farms, We have three reasons for doing this. 1) Snow. Our typical snow fall used to be 10 ft of snow annually and about 4ft on the level. Snow coming in November and staying on the ground till mid April. Not so much in recent years, but we keep our lines high for the following two reasons . 2) Slope, we have fairly low rolling hills that we are tapping trees on and they do not always slope in the optimal direction and we need to maintain height over our trails. 3) Wildlife, Moose stand 6ft at the shoulders and much higher at the head and bull moose can have large antlers. Then there are bears and coyotes that chew on pipe. We used to have our lines much lower, but soon found swaths of tubing on the ground where moose ran through them and places where the pipe was under snow in big snow fall years. Short answer is snow, slope and wildlife. Thanks for watching and asking questions!

Thanks for Watching Mill Gap!

We have a large commercial kitchen sink, with a sprayer nozzle, this make it pretty easy to rinse the sugar off the various parts. The head itself, I take apart and carefully clean.

About 2 inches.

Here is the company where I get the tape from. www.ertape.com/

Does not darken up my syrup at all, but that's on my evaporator. Someone else's rig may have different results. Thanks for watching!

Your welcome!

We have tried those in the past and found they get really soft after they have been in the woods a year or two. forcing us to replace them with a new saddle sooner then other saddle options out there. H2O's saddles have been great thus far. Thanks for watching.

@@Sawyersmapleyou found the gaskets got soft? Which H2O saddles you guys seem to like? What you like for silicone tape?

@@MrBigBEYEA For silicon tape see. www.ertape.com/ For saddles I will have to get a good video of them.

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

Its a Paragon 7105100 Classic Floss 5 Cotton Candy Machine with 26" Aluminum Bowl. The best way to make cotton candy is in a climate controlled room. We run an air conditioner and a dehumidifier in the summer months. Humidity is not your friend when you make cotton candy.

Thanks for watching!

It becomes a real problem there one central rt system not individual so cut one it sends up 10 more sprouts

@@BladesofglorylandscapeingGood to know, however we are not allowed to use herbicides on the land we lease.

When to tap all depends on the location. Some parts of the USA are already tapping and or collecting and boiling sap. So its hard for me to say when you should start tapping. But since you only have 20 taps, You could wait till the temperature gets to 35 degrees Fahrenheit and is going to stay in those warmer temperatures for a few days or weeks. Would also recommend joining a local maple association, they are a great source of knowledge and can help tailor information to your maple operation and your specific region. Hope that helps some. Thanks for watching!

@@Sawyersmaple thanks. One more question. If I tap now because it’s running but it freezes back up, will I get more sap in the spring when it warms again? Does it affect the sap or trees?

@@RedRockMaintenance You can get mare sap in the spring, but it will be less. Larger producers can get away with tapping now because they have vacuum systems that keep bacteria away from the tap holes. The sooner you tap the more time bacteria has to plug up the hole in the tree, limiting the amount of sap you will get.

20 taps... Before breakfast, on the first day you think you'll get a good sap run.

We make maple syrup for a living and we like to pass on our knowledge on the process to other maple syrup producers. Thanks for watching.

@@Sawyersmaple AA ok thx

I've seen those Boduc bits advertised, have not tried them yet. Thanks for watching and subscribing! Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Check out Sunrise Evaporators out of Topeka Indiana, they are the ones that make them. sunriseevaporators.com/our-catalog/ Page 19 in the catalog.

The road beyond our sugarhouse is just a winter logging road. I think come spring we will have that culvert pulled out so this does not happen again.

Thanks for watching it Kevin! Kurt.

Aw thanks. You should totally make it, its sooo good. Thanks for watching and God bless!

I would say 4. This video has given me some ideas as to how to make this better. ua-cam.com/video/ZLnmFfDZCVg/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared So from what I have found out and understand. Lifting sap there will always be a loss of vacuum, the higher you go the more you loose. Ours looses about 6 inches of vacuum. Now the alternative would be to put in a releaser and sap tank and one line that you can turn on to suck the sap out of the tank. I did try a version of this before I went to the spa ladder. All in all, its not a perfect system but it gets sap from trees that otherwise would be more expensive to set up or not get at all.

@Sawyersmaple thank you very much.

@@Sawyersmaple Have you tried putting a check valve to help it from draining out and not freezing?

@@northernwoodsvlogs We have not tried a check valve. It will freeze anytime the temperature drops below freezing anyways. The only way to keep it from freezing would be to make sure its completely drained every day. Sap ladders make for an interesting solution but they come with their own set of problems.

@@northernwoodsvlogs Your welcome.

Flap jacks are really good with our maple syrup. We also recommend maple syrup in chili, on spaghetti, pizza, cooked carrots, vegetables and so much more. Thanks for watching!

It sure is. Thanks for watching.

Now that is a cool idea.. Thanks for watching.

Sure beats cutting thousands of drops by hand. Now that is pretty cool, not everyone can make their own tools. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. We just really got started on UA-cam last year.

Then you are Deffinitly on the up and coming because there were two of your videos in a row in my recomendations just keep cranking videos out regularly and you’ll get noticed by the UA-cam algorithm

@@wafflelife6028 You make maple syrup?

Yes that has been a very nice upgrade this year. Thanks for watching.

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks!
