Nice work Ohio neighbors! Sap should be flowing as we are getting some slushy rain at 7:00 p.m.. I will gather and try to boil in the morning. My guess is the run will be pretty good overnight.

Im heading to the woods now to boil.
Jason,
How much sap do you have for that big rig?

Chris
I boiled around 200 gal last night and am boiling all night tonight I think. Have collected about 280 gallons on buckets and over 600 on vac since last night. Its still running strong as we speak.
snagged 160 gallons from last night until today. nice little run . . .
Heus, that is great you are getting big sap. It's very slow over here. Have you calculated you GPH yet?
Gary I haven't done the calculations yet. I know that with good wood im probably around 85gph. Yes i know this can do much better. I need a preheater next year. I should be able to get over 100 gph.
hues, you had some serious sap from those trees for the weather, we got just over a gallon a tap by 4 pm 600 on vac @ 25'' and 160 buckets
so almost 900 gal of 2.4% to boil today.
going to dial in the new cyclone arch!!!
I had a pretty good sap run yesterday of just under 1 gallon per tap. I had 100 gallons per 115 taps. Monday and Tuesday I only collected 20 gallons a day.
so the cyclone arch claimed its first victim. was watching the fire through the window and all of a suddon sap started to run down the break of the back syrup pan ( cross flow) like no tommorrow. i never seen anything like it ,everything running smooth then it all breaks loose for no reason . I was even running 2.5 inches in the pans just to be safe. it did sugar over within a few minuts though and i did manage to get it all boiled in. made over 20 gal in 6 hours
