March 13 he could, but we won’t go there….Is he having "Rocky Mountain oysters" for dinner?
How many taps do you do? I used to do about 30. Target was 3-5 gallons.
I have 18 taps out here close to my house (walking distance)…each week seem to get different amount weather depending…2 weeks ago about 25 gallons sap in a week….this week I was somewhere between 12-15 gallons sap. Very small scale, just trying learn and understand what we like/dislike before shelling out to much….our other place has a large stand of sugar maples, but we can’t handle the sugaring so far away…so we are trying to learn now, if that makes sense.
My taps were yard trees and nearby also. Could run most everything via tubing to a 30 gallon container. Sometimes full in a day.
Yep, I do too! He started at a young age…You don't have dogs....you have woodchucks!
That’s sounds awesome…well we are very small scale, and actually 95% black walnut sap (last year was our first try)…our other place has lots of sugar maples but we can’t be there to do the syrup (while still working our day jobs) so we are learning at home getting ready for what comes after day jobs. It’s great dogs get to come along and help out so all is good. I’d like to get to a point as you described in your note…except with wood fire.My taps were yard trees and nearby also. Could run most everything via tubing to a 30 gallon container. Sometimes full in a day.
Boiled in garage over propane camp stove and turkey fryer burner. Went through a lot of propane.....
Neighbor now taps most of the place, ~150 taps. He says one of his better locations in his 1,000 tap operation.
Yeah, i sort of don’t know much about dogs but I can tell you here in the last week or so he (the pup)has figured out what ‘it’s’ for….and I can tell you he is lucky to be alive…his current hobby is trying to put it where it doesn’t belong on the older female…that and running for his life but he hasn’t learned…it’s hard for some of usYou don't have dogs....you have woodchucks!
….he finally wore himself out and what I do know is a sleeping puppy is a well behaved puppy…took all day but he finally collapsed yesterday.
Oh, my mistake/assumption... we're Maple Country here.
Plenty of maple places near us I just happen to have a stand of black walnuts…by taste I don’t believe most would notice…the walnut has a little more nutty aroma on the raw syrup, but I’ve tried blindfolded and on a pancake it’s not distinguishable. It’s tasty and I am learning the process.
