@mollygsp same thing. My point was that the refractometer doesn't measure viscosity. SG is relative density to water at 1.000.

@BeeRich33 its not specific gravity either its density.

Oh ya I almost forgot. If you don't have snow and the weather is really getting too warm to store the sap properly, get some longer hose and toss the chiller coil in the river.

Hi, Just a little help for Bill. Get a 50' roll of 3/8'' aluminum tubing and bend it into a big flat coil leaving both ends sticking straight up 1 foot or so. and bury it in a couple of feet of snow. hook some 1/2 inch ID hose to both alum pipes put a cheap 5 gpm elec pump on the hose, toss both ends into your storage tank and , bam !! Instant sap chiller,will keep your sap at about 35 deg. Good Video !!

I love the labs!! they're beautiful!

That's not viscosity. It's specific gravity, compared to water at 1.000.

Your pans are backwards. Put the finishing pan over the firebox and the sap pans at the stack. You will increase evaporation rate.



Best one I've seen, through the other videos I was always wondering what exactly was going on with those evaporators. Thanks
