I have a friend who Airbnb's the upstairs part of her house. Send me a message and I'll ask her and get back to you.

It’s decent but I do lean toward Chick-fil-A.

Wake me when Bojangles comes to New Hampshire. :)

We have a decent sized setup in Stewartstown with a few hundred trees filling a 200gal holding tank. Tap nice and early, and some of the first runs in the past ended up being almost clear. Very light color and taste great We also are much more strict about cleanliness than most producers, which I believe plays a role. Clean evaporator entirely after every run for instance. Cheers

I have a hard time understanding why anyone lives in NH when every surrounding state is superior

Ok well still. I eat with my eyes.

And the tiny bit of crystal at the bottom was like diamonds.

Their food is gross. It tastes like amusement park fare.

year round daily. its white noise now

Pure sap from early season runs, look up maple syrup grade chart. They all have the same sugar contents and are all “done”. Must reach a certain density when tested on a hydrometer. Boil too long get crystallization in the bottles, too little and get mold.

So since they're escaped private property and not true wild animals the park is required to pay for any damage they cause, but u can't shoot them

I'm sure they do, but I ain't buying.

I want a consistency blondes can't afford. I think em thick and tan.

He’s wrong your are right. Hydrometer says when it’s done. Color comes from impurities which are more present later in the year both in the tree and in the lines. Plenty of studies on this. There are grades of syrup based on it.

Is this Adams point?

Any examples of this happening? Your allowed to shoot animals on your property if they threaten you OR your property.

Yeah, no. This is not defensible. Transparency is really important, and this isn't it.

No. You specifically said that my syrup was under boiled because of the color. And you also said that color is dictated by sugar content. Both of those statements are incorrect. I have said that and you didn't want to hear it.

Per UNH "Despite the wide range in color and flavor, all four grades are produced the same way—by boiling the sap until enough water has evaporated to reach maple syrup’s correct density of 66.9oBrix at room temperature. When the boiling sap reaches this density, it’s considered syrup." And "The pH of the boiling sap, sugar concentration, types of sugars in the sap, length of boiling time to produce syrup, the temperature outside, and even microbial activity all play a role in syrup color."

I have repeatedly stated that my syrup is the correct density and color. I used actual instruments to measure it. You took one look at it and said it wasn't finished because you eyeballed it for 25 years. That's what you didn't want to hear. Again this isn't me taking it personally. This is me telling you unequivocally that syrup this color is normal and fine and desirable. Syrup that "runs thicker" bc it has more sugar is overcooked. Full stop. Syrup of any grade should have the exact same sugar content. Any syrup shed in Canada will tell you the same things I have said. Any syrup shed in Canada is using a hydrometer to measure their product bc we have advanced beyond our eyeballs.

Meh. There’s one near me in Nashua for a couple of years now, I’ve been to it twice. Once when it opened to try their chicken, a second time to see what all the hoopla was about their stupid chicken sandwich.

Didn’t realize this was behind a paywall. Story is about the Popeyes opening in Concord — my favorite guilty pleasure.

Color is dictated by several factors. Per UNH "The pH of the boiling sap, sugar concentration, types of sugars in the sap, length of boiling time to produce syrup, the temperature outside, and even microbial activity all play a role in syrup color."

You get two articles and then they lock you out. Clearing browser history fixes it.

Oh man. I didn't even realize Concord Monitor was behind a paywall. Lame.

Holy cow! Iced out completely?

Ah, the good old days, when there was a gravel ramp right in this picture...

Boycott until they bring back Stella fries!

Gotta love paywalls!

They don't have a people hunting season in this state
