If what they say about the peepers is true we're done. I heard them out in hunts burg tonight.
i dunno . i think we would be done if it werent for this mini freeze tomorrow. but im making medium still .... barely any dark and no B yet . i like the B for smoking meats. im sure ill get some B wed/thurs and then it should be over .
That was a great run! Finished up yesterday! Syrup went back to light at the beginning, and sap in the tank was 2.8. Saturday and Sunday it was medium. Sap was 2.3 to 2.1. Great year! Hoping for one more run this week!
So who is still producing good-tasting syrup in NE Ohio? Mine still tastes great but I know of some who are producung some off-flavored syrup? I assume today and tomorrow will be our last boils, unless the syrup still tastes good, then we will keep going as long as there is still sap flowing under vacuum.
I collected 2 gallons per tap the last two days. Everything is still tasty DA .... and I will pull them on Sunday
My taps have been running good and clear the last 3 days. The syrup has gotten much lighter again like it was the beginning of March. I plan to pull my taps on Sunday. I was shooting for 20-25 gallons this year and am actually over 60 gallons now! What a year to start out.
Great tasting syrup this year!! I had a slight problem with the first gallon and a half I made, but after that its been awesome! The last ten gallons have been dark amber.
Dark amber lately here too but with grade b taste, which actually is my absolute favorite.
Cant believe how dry my woods has gotten just in the past few days. Maybe this is why the sap flow hasnt been great the past two days even those we have had freezes at night. Most likely the last boil will take place today. Its been an awesome season.
