Our Murphy Compensation Cups are back in stock! 🍁

These are one of our best sellers, and for good reason! Our patented Murphy Cup makes checking maple syrup density a whole lot easier. No more messing around with temperature compensation charts or trying to get an accurate thermometer reading.

They're great for maple producers of all sizes, and you don't need to own a Smoky Lake evaporator to use one!

With Christmas coming up, they're also a great gift idea for the maple producer on your list! 🎄 We have Murphy Compensation Floats for those working with syrup depths of 7" or more.

And don't forget, you can get a discounted Gold Series Hydrometer with your purchase!

There's a lot to like about finishing syrup with gas, especially when it comes to controlling your heat.

Our Gas-Fired Finisher lets you bring syrup up to temperature quickly and then make adjustments as you work toward the proper density for bottling.

One thing that's easy to overlook when ordering a new evaporator is how you're going to handle the steam and smoke.

Depending on where you're installing your evaporator, you may need a steam hood, roof jack, or other venting components. And some of those items take additional time to manufacture because they're made to order just for you.

For example, if you wait until your evaporator is nearly finished to order a roof jack, you could be looking at another month or more before that part is ready.

We recommend figuring out your venting needs while you're planning your evaporator, not after it's already being built. Our maple specialists can help you work through the options so you know what to include in your order.

There's plenty to keep us busy as we get ready for another maple season!

Jimmy, Tyler and Brianna were hard at work assembling another Dauntless evaporator. Brianna is the newest addition to our team of maple specialists, and she's already getting right into the action!

When it comes to filtering maple syrup, the DE you use makes a difference!

Jimmy explains why we recommend 5000-grit, food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE) for better filtering performance. Just because a bag says “food-grade” doesn't mean it's the right DE for filtering syrup. Differences in color, texture and clumping can help you spot a lower-quality option.

The right DE can make all the difference in getting that clean, clear maple syrup you're looking for. 🍁
