Gorgeous looking syrup Don. Hopefully it will be the first of many more batches.

Great job Don. Got a question....what are you boiling on?

I have yet to boil. Still have a foot of snow, but the sap is finally starting to run this week here in the mountains of western, Mass.

Haven't seen you on the QDMA forum recently?

Thanks! Leader Half Pint... playing with it to try and draw off Syrup...I'm getting closer by lowering my sap level...

That Forum has quite a few ding dongs and I got fed up when someone said it look like my Dad was laughing at the 6 Point he got this year. I don't have time for places with jerks like that...

I hear you. There are definitely some blow hards there.

I'm on a Mason 2x4...hoping to draw off for he first time this weekend.

People like that are definitely discouraging. Good job so far, Don.

Looks Great Don !!

It that steel caps on your bottles? They look real nice and a great label too.

Still waiting for a decent run to try out my new rig, its just killing me not being able to have my first new arch boil.

Maybe I need to buy some sap at $3.00 a gallon, see my post about that.

Keep posting the pics Don, love seeing all of them.

I wish all a spectacular overflowing run soon !!

Good luck.

Nice to finally be getting some syrup! We have had a nice week here in Central Maine.
