Do you use an RO system?Holy crap am I sore. 3 of us spent 5 hrs on the Mt toady reparing lines and putting in 475 taps. By the time we got back down to the holding tanks, it was flowing like a garden hose and there was 50+ gal in the one tank. Unfortunately, the first 100 gals gets dumped on the ground as the lines need to be flushed to get rid of all the nasties.
Hopefully our first boil will be Sunday or Monday. Need 300-400 gals just to fire up.
It has to to with diameter and not age. I have read 8-10 inches in diameter for one tap.How old does a tree need to be before you tap it? I planted a sugar maple a few months ago. Figuring it will be 10 years before I can even think about syrup....
No, too darn expensive. Arch has a steam hood with a preheater, but its nothing compared to a RO system.Do you use an RO system?
I do no where near the quantity you do. My arch is not an arch and is home made and I use chaffing pans instead of a nice evaporator.No, too darn expensive. Arch has a steam hood with a preheater, but its nothing compared to a RO system.
