Collected 80gal tonight and I can't believe I heard some peepers!! Hate to say it but that's not a good sign since I only collected just under 800gal and made about 10gal of syrup. I piled up the snow around the tote tanks which will help with the warm up.Still running as of tonight.

I can't believe that I haven't started yet and you are already hearing peepers! Perhaps you want to tote that new RO system of yours north of the border when you are done. :lol:

I'm hoping its not the end already , I had a decent run in last 24 hours and boiled last night. 170 gallons on 195 taps made a little under 3 gallons of light syrup but the sugar sand was like tar clogging the prefilters. Next week we get back to freezing and long range looks like we should rebound to syrup weather. Good luck to you.

I was just about to post about the peepers! There aren’t many singing but you can hear them. I am not showing any buds yet so I hope that bails is out! I really hope the forecast holds true.

Nothing ran yesterday, i boiled down 110 gallons from day before and made some dark syrup . We are all hoping for the same thing ...the season not to be over , 6 gallons isn't enough for me to be happy yet.

10pm and all finished with 260 gal into 5gal syrup that RO is it!!! I let it settle overnight then pour off till I see the junk reheat to 190 n filter then reheat the rest of the junk n pour it in thru the filter later very easy way so the filter doesn't clog so fast n bottle out of the water jacked bottler at 188. This maybe the end will see weather not looking great for sap?? So just about 15gal syrup fo me so far.
