Why are you done? Temps look OK for the sap to run. Are the peepers out?
Peepers,nothing running.Made about 13-15 gallons,The temps are not below freezing here don't think it that much colder there?
Those are impressive numbers 5050. I'm betting you've suddenly got a lot of friends dropping by hoping to score a bottle.Quote:

I caught the first good run 1/30 or so when it hit 60 degrees and most after that.Found out I need a bigger barrel on my 9 tree run overflowed many times.Good luck to you since it sounds your in the thick of things get-it!!!
I'll find out what's going on at my place today. Collected 180 gls on thursday. Forecast says below freezing nights to Wed.
Got 30 gls from some buckets and a short run. Sap clear and tastes good. Dumped ~ 50 gls from my two main runs. Looks likes things are done for the year. Made 65 gls of syrup so far. Now to empty the evap. and finish off the last of the sweet.
Glad you got a little before the end,the fun of cleaning up,only 9 months till we start again
Does the season ever really end? Just switch focus to thinning the woods, elevating low spots, finding new trees or runs and getting firewood ready.
Your right it doesn't Im splitting wood now and eating GREAT breakfasts,salads and so on with syrup.I mix balsamic vinegar and syrup on my salad everyday and that's work to eat and don't forget about how hard it is to eat ice cream with syrup on it!!!
