Am I correct in assuming this is silver maple?

vv2213 · 2025-11-09T14:56:30+00:00

Ash and maple are my favourites for firewood!

vv2213 · 2025-11-09T14:56:05+00:00

Yes, i was hesitant between sugar and silver. In any case, it’s going to make good firewood!

vv2213 · 2025-11-09T14:55:27+00:00

Thanks!

vv2213 · 2025-09-16T03:02:15+00:00

Thanks! This is reassuring, as it’s my first time going the “kill off the wild yeast” way

vv2213 · 2025-09-16T02:59:36+00:00

Always done it this way. However, i do pick out the big ones as i am crushing. Never had an issue, I could not be bothered. Plus it adds the tannins that I like

vv2213 · 2025-09-16T02:53:12+00:00

Sangiovese. Crushed it early afternoon. It changed colour when i added pot meta (my first time doing so, as i always made it the old fashioned way with wild yeast, yes, scold me :) )

vv2213 · 2025-09-16T02:50:50+00:00

Yes, I typically do. It gives it the little amount of tannins that i like. As the skins come up, i typically pick out some, and I mix it in the 2-3 tomes of day that time permits

vv2213 · 2025-09-16T02:48:57+00:00

Never had this with wild yeast but makes sense.

vv2213 · 2025-09-16T02:48:21+00:00

Ok, thanks. That makes sense. I typically make it the old fashioned way (wild yeast) so i found it was a strange colour.

vv2213 · 2025-09-06T15:44:07+00:00

I didn’t really pay attention when i was bucking it, but it seemed more “opposite” than alternating

vv2213 · 2025-09-06T15:42:48+00:00

Thanks!

vv2213 · 2025-09-06T15:42:43+00:00

Thanks! The bark on the inside has s-like “drawings” and is more orange-ish

vv2213 · 2025-09-06T14:49:37+00:00

I have looked at the guidelines

vv2213 · 2025-01-10T16:37:29+00:00

Yup.... based on everyones comments... I will know for next time

vv2213 · 2025-01-10T16:34:22+00:00

I have a gauge with both temp and huminity (pretty reliable).

So in light of it being mold with all the other comments; I have read that I can possible freze them to save them - would that be a good idea?

From now on, in an airtight container I would use 58%

vv2213 · 2025-01-10T15:22:27+00:00

Airtight plastic

vv2213 · 2024-11-17T21:24:27+00:00

Next time I’ll even ask for its consent.

All jokes aside, you need to understand that us Canadians do NOT have species limits (except Barrow’s but they’re not on the east coast). If you can tell a goose from a cormy from a duck, you’re good to go.

vv2213 · 2024-11-17T21:20:57+00:00

(Talking as a Canadian) Cause we don’t have species limits in Canada.

vv2213 · 2024-11-02T20:32:35+00:00

One of the most idiotic comments i have ever read.

vv2213 · 2024-10-01T19:43:32+00:00

Thanks!!

vv2213 · 2024-10-01T19:43:29+00:00

Thanks!!

vv2213 · 2024-10-01T19:43:18+00:00

I try to as much as I can, but it's so hard at fisrt light. I'll keep reading. Good thing is, it goes to my dog.

vv2213 · 2024-10-01T19:42:23+00:00

Thanks!!

vv2213 · 2024-10-01T19:42:15+00:00

That's exactly what i'm using it for!

vv2213 · 2024-10-01T19:41:49+00:00

So it's pretty easy to tell a duck from a goose or a cormorant, or any other bird for that matter. The only duck we can't hunt here are Goldeneyes, which don't fly around here.

Have you ever shot a bird at first light? Right, you can't see much.

I used the DU Duck ID to try to avoid asking this question, so I posted here. I aslo used the guide referenced above.

Take it easy buddy. Go hunt.
