@@toddd5703 a lot of truth and wisdom in this comment. Thank you.

I would... but it would get in the way of the camera shot 😂😂

Heck yeah, man! My email is in the description.

@@BissellMapleFarm I've got it and I will be dropping you a line. Really impressed by the amount of videos and the information. I found your channel needing to learn something about vacuum reliability in sap collection applications. I use to work for Atlas Copco and I'm very familiar with Leybold. Now I am with Ingersoll Rand with legendary vacuum pumps from NASH, Gardner Denver, Elmo Rietschle and MD Kinney. I'm not looking to sell you anything. I'm in the learning process and hoping to make some contacts and we will be here if you need us. I've solved more vacuum issues than I can shake a stick at. I really appreciate being able to learn so much about the commercial maple sugaring process from one source. Happy to return the favor if ever a vacuum pump or vacuum application question. Keep up the great work. The whiskey barrels in genius. I'm a NH native so I've done some collecting and boiling in my day.

@@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON we were in Nashville this weekend! A quick trip with my wife to visit some friends.

An oldie but a goodie

@@MrFarmer2345 that's funny. But it wouldn't be a good RUclips video, man.

Just kiddin around… wish LS would have had a presence in Nebraska… blue is my favorite color!!! Now I’m stuck with pumpkin orange😉😉😉

@@MrFarmer2345 I don't take myself too seriously. I like the banter. I'm not made of glass. I take my Triactin every day.

Oh, man. Lol. I don't know. It might work. But those are a bit wide. About 6" wide. It might work...

I'm going on Year 2 with it. I don't want to ruin the surprise. Becauae, the next episode is funny.

Hey, hey Kevin

@SpencerLawnCare I'm a loser, ai need to touch base with you guys.

@@MrFarmer2345 I tend to lean toward the strongest dealers. Our dealer is strong.

@robertdesroches9642 They do have a blower set-up. There are two, but I might not have gotten a good shot of them. They run on the edges of the belt. Are you talking about an even bigger blower covering the whole belt?

@geoffoutdoors you'd miss it for about 5 minutes! Unless you are in the air-conditioned cab! Ha!

@@BissellMapleFarm LOL

Square baling is a young mans game. Also, It seems like people excepting $2.00/bale have driven a bunch of farmers away from them in our area.

@@bioniclife the machinery they have today for square bales, though, Kevin!!! It is so much better than what they had 30 years ago!!! And it would make GREAT RUclips content! Seems like a great idea... go find hay customers so I can make an excuse to bale hay for content!

@BissellMapleFarm I have to admit, I was envious of the farm that had self loading/unloading wagons

The crop has been excellent!

@@markpyle3710 that's not possible.

Update: That is a Maplewood hat Easton is wearing.

@@BissellMapleFarm Ok Cool. I'll let it slide.

@markpyle3710 sometimes, you need a little variety. You know what I mean, Mark?

@@BissellMapleFarm I hear Ya. Like after drinking a Stout, switch it up to a Hazy IIPA.

@@markpyle3710 I see what you did there with the two I's....

@@belarus_black_smoke4753 Not this year. Joe was a beast! And it was a lot easier with the tile all in and working!

Ha! You got that right! We now have a sharpening kit. That oak is hard on bits.

@@taylormcclurg4444 so the bottle doesn't collapse when the syrup shrinks.

@@spaknives thanks for watching!

@TheWeekendMedic that is true! We heard some good stories!

@@BissellMapleFarm very interested in your IBC experiments - I agree that this is the future of maple transport, especially for the first leg from the producer to the first bulk buyer (currently stainless barrel, whose cost I can't justify...) I wonder if the beverage industry has done some of this work - Cornell University (esp Extension service) and Hartwick College with their new beverage program likely have some insight.

@@TheWeekendMedic they can copy my notes and make spreadsheets if they want to. 😁

@tomwisted9089 that's part of it. It's not really the primary reason.

Just for you, Geoff!

@@TwoGuysTimberframing it makes the stories about the scars more interesting!

@@mcsawmill and.... BOOM!!!!!

@@SpencerLawnCare lol. I almost titled this "hold my beer!" 🤣 😂

@@VaughanTaftjr no matter how much syrup it is and whose syrup it is... we all pucker together!! Ha!

Good idea.

@@bioniclife Whether I needed to or not...

I love how Austin is so ready to jump in and be your guinea pig 😂

@@RiverhillMaple he's dang helpful. I know that much!

@@BissellMapleFarm I wish I had an Austin that’s for sure!

@Dakk_Attack If the barrels are dumped at the same time, it would be difficult to tell the difference. Surprisingly, there are differences in barrel quality between high-end bourbon and lower cost bourbons. A wheated mash bill can make the syrup seem "sweeter".

@BissellMapleFarm so overall there really wouldn't be much of a difference as far as the customer can tell?

You are like a genius, George!!

@frankeem3820 The syrup needs to cool and create a vacuum when it shrinks. That's pretty important.

@@BissellMapleFarm whiskey barrels are pretty hard to come by in my neck of the woods plus I don't have room for them. So I experimented with ordering the chopped up Bourbon Barrel chips. I put the chips in a 5 gallon sealable container and I put the hot maple syrup on the chips. Turned out pretty good I think. I had other people try it they liked it too. I don't know if it's as good as yours though.

@@frankeem3820 we sell our product to about 30 maple farmers at this point. They probably have more profit, higher quality, and less hassle than folks who make it themselves.

@davidpatterson5728 no reason. That's the way it was facing, I guess. But I don't really want the large end hanging off the mill, now that I think about it.

@AlexMakesMaple Ah, you are close. We buy freshly dumped bourbon barrels to make bourbon BBL (barrel) aged maple syrup. We say BBL for short-hand. And every barrel has a home before we purchase them. Which essentially keeps out cost for barrels at zero. So, it doesn't matter if we triple barrel age... the cost of barrels does not really impact our business. Availability does sometimes. So, while everyone is worried about the cost of barrels... we leaned in... people were too worried about the wrong things. Flavor and quality are the primary responsibilities. Cost is a secondary issue. Too many people make it the primary issue. And then cut corners.

Thank you for watching! Are you talking about The Paul Buyan or another event? Remond me what is going on in October.

The NAMSC meeting October 21-24

@davecarlin6335 Oh yeah! In Maine this year!
