Mess of syrup bottles & beer cans. It was a long day.
The night shift playing cards to pass the time between pours.
Shot of the sugar shack at night. Place was jamming Saturday night!
Shot of the briskets cooking in the sv cooler.
Some fuel for the boys. Yes it’s kirkland beer don’t judge me. We went through two 48 packs while boiling sap this day.
Kurt pouring his first ever syrup.
Some plastic bottles full.
Some glass bottles full of the finished product.
The sap boiling down.
I took a little time off the flat top to eat myself.
Grilling up reubens for the neighborhood on the flat top.
Sliced up.
Here’s the cooler set up for the sv.
The corned beef all sealed up.
i hope everyone had a great st paddy’s day! I know we did and while some things are the same out here st paddy’s day is a little different. We’re in sap season so we all get together at the sugarbush to collect sap from the 200+ trees we tap, and boil it down.
I used the sv to cook 3 corned beef briskets for lunch. Total cook time was 64 hours, and the temp was 139 degrees.
We’re somewhere around 60-70 gallons of syrup bottles this year. Not bad for a bunch of guys all volunteering. Great community out this way.
