Dick was an absolute pillar of our community. He did alot more for Kinsman than just maple syrup. Go over and look at the township park and everything you see except the new bathrooms Dick had his hand in on it. Too many other things to list here. Great video by the way.

@@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.

I've been getting this distillers number one selling bourbon's barrel. Do you think there would be much of a flavor change if I went with one of their other bourbons? Or is bourbon barrel syrup roughly the same no matter the bourbon that was in the barrel beforehand?
@BissellMapleFarm
@BissellMapleFarm 10 күн бұрын
@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".

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.

So you buy used bourbon barrels for your bourbon syrup, then sell them back so they can make maple flavoured bourbon?
@BissellMapleFarm
@BissellMapleFarm 15 күн бұрын
@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.

A hole saw would achieve a cleaner and more accurate cut than a spade bit. The spade bit is best for cutting fast holes where super accuracy is not paramount, such as drilling holes through studs for wires to pass through. Your intended use must hold vacuum.
