Very nice run here the past couple of days. Looks like cold sets in again for a few days.
Gathered 525 gallons from Wed and Thursday, at 6Pm some trees were still running yesterday.
Jason,
Glad you got some of these last runs. Mine have been lighter than normal. I may need to bite the bullet and replace taps and drops next year:(
Regards,
Chris
Had a nice visit from Daryl ( the 5" hand filter press builder) last night as I was boiling. It was nice to talk maple with him and get some pointers.
I have been able to bottle 35.5 gallons so far. All medium except the last 9 gallons or so were grade A dark. Hoping for a real good week starting Tuesday.
Boiled down another 400 gallons yesterday. 15 gallons of light syrup so far. This weekend looks great!
Have bottled 54.5 gallons at this point. Its been grade A dark the last 25 gallons or so. Lots of boiling this weekend northeast Ohio!
Get ready everyone. The floodgates open today!
So what does everyone prefer: Boiling in snow or boiling in the 60's?
Snow, I was sweating today and nobody wants to see me take too many layers off.
