Antimicrobial Spouts + Droplines

09/16/2024 | Posted by jake |

We’re already prepping for the 2025 season, and like usual we have a few new things to try! Our droplines are on a three year replacement cycle, so this year we’re installing 8,000 anti-microbial drops from Middle Valley Maple. We’re also trying some of their anti-microbial spouts. We have an experiment setup with the 2,000 taps on the west side of Robinson Road using the new spouts while the 3,000 taps on the east using the “old” arc-barb spouts.

“Middle Valley Maple antimicrobial fittings safeguard against microbes and combat bacteria/fungal microbial growth that develops during the sugaring process over time. This allows for improved sap yield performance, especially when tapping early or when fittings are reused for additional seasons. Middle Valley Maple antimicrobial fittings are manufactured with a silver based antimicrobial ad- ditive that is the first in the industry to be approved be the State of Vermont for organic certification.”

 

Cinnamon and Vanilla Infused Syrup Part 1

Last October we took a vacation to Hawaii and visited a vanilla bean farm. We decided to age some of their beans in our syrup, a popular twist on maple syrup, similar to bourbon barrel aging. This month we finally had some time to try several variations and find the best recipe. We plan on bottling our first full batch this week so that it’s ready in time for Christmas, stay tuned!
