Well, I'm about a week late, but I'm finally in - at least the first 30 or so. I'll get the rest tomorrow and Sunday. Added more vac (both mechanical and natural) and replaced most of the drops. Hopefully, it will make up for what I missed!

Congrats. Got the first half of mine in on Saturday as well, and things look like they're flowing really well.

Ill have to swing by when you're boiling sometime. Good luck with the temps this week, I wish I had snow again this year to pack around my buckets... :-/

Hope everyone is having a good run this week. It has been running nonstop since Monday for me and I can't keep up, even though my new 2x5 evaporator boils at twice the rate as the old one. Have 150 gal left from yesterday's run. Day off from work to boil today so sap doesn't spoil. One line with pump and my controller pulled 3 gpt in 24 hrs while a similar line on gravity with 15-20' of drop pulled 1.5 gpt. Crazy when a big mid season run happens in mid February!

Yeah I had to boil on the turkey fryer last night since I had too much to do around the house to get my barrel fired up and tended to. got about 7 out of the close to 20 gallons that had collected from 6 taps since Saturday. Hopefully the remainder makes it through today and I can fire up the barrel later on.

Hope you guys have a good week!
