39 taps 3/21&3/22 pulled 1st boil (126 gal) this morning. Lost sap because of ice/ over flows.
1st time after 4 yr off.
WHERE IS EVERYONE?
Pulled taps Mon 4/10. Finished 2nd boil Tue 4/11. 233gal. Glad to be done
233gal of sap or finished syrup!? I'm still running, had a good run yesterday, considered quitting when it almost hit 80 last week but we have good freeze nights and warmer days for the next week at least now.
Had a late start and missed a week not believing we'd be tapping this early. 100 taps for only 2 weeks 720 gallons sap and got 21+ gallons syrup. 34:1 ratio. Very little niter. Bucket RO really cut the boiling time down and used a lot less wood. Used a vacumn filter which really cut down the the use of 4 letter words. Would have liked to kept going but there are some of the family that thought they were entitled to get their lives back.
