I was alwayse told to stop boiling when the peepers start to sing.-FROG RUN- Well in the middle of last nite they woke me up they were so loud. There were 8 tom turkeys,behind the sugarhouse on full fan display for most of the day yesterday. I boiled last nite and made 5 gallons of dark-A , The fresh sap was real cloudy. _ss

I have a slightly different approach to when to stop. I basically look at the weather, frogs, snow, water levels. Then throw that all to the way side and when I don't get anymore sap I stop!!

Last year when Jerry was down at my place boiling some crap 1% sap the frogs were trying so hard to give me a clue to stop that one hopped right in the front door of the sugarhouse and right under jerry's chair, NO B.S. either.

That one is on video.

How bout when your out of wood or fuel oil..... that kinda helps make up your mind too ;)

I would have stopped last week - if running out of wood was the determining factor. Fresh load of black locust cured that. With the price of commercial - I'll keep boiling until the trees stop giving (which may be sooner than later).
