Tapping in Durham

[Durham Sugarhouse]

Keeping my eye on the 10 day forecast and it looks like we may be in a good temp cycle starting Jan 22nd. Thinking of tapping next weekend. Spending this weekend getting the equipment cleaned and ready to go.

[Starting Small]

I tapped in last weekend and I am glad that I did. This is my first year with a vacuum pump and releaser, in the past I had a guzzler. I have been working out bugs, realizing the things that I forgot, and learning some of the important minutia. So better to do it now for me before things get going then missing out on sap because I am redoing my mistakes. Small run yesterday, hopefully a decent one today. Good luck this year,
