I put out 190 taps on the 19th. I only got 160gal. of sap in my bulk tank then it turned cold down in the teens. I have a 160gal.sap slushee in my tank. It is starting to warm up some. Going to try to cook some tomorow. I will have some fresh sap comming in tomorrow. I was afraid if I tried to suger my pans it would freeze in my pans. I rather it freeze in my s.s. Bulk Tank.

That is what can happen when you get the itch. You just got to have patiences in this business.

Fred that is what happened. My drill finger got to itchin and it warmed up so I put out my taps with out looking at the weather forcast. I'am learning. There is more to it then just tapping a tree and cooking it down. It is a science and I have the maple itch bad. THAT IS WHAT MY WIFE SAYS
