Pulling my taps out this evening......this will be another short season like 2012 when I had wood frogs hopping around the wood shed in early March. Good luck to all.

Nice run of sap the last 2 days , had one tree with 3 taps into a 20 l pail over flowing today. It's going to be hard to empty enough whiskey bottles over the next week to hold the all the syrup but hey I'll try.
Ya collected 75 gallon from 75 taps today but the sugar content isn't holding up an Friday is the only day that's suppose to be below zero and I think it will be too late by then.... :(
Boiling again today flow last night was much slower

If you guys ever see deep fryer basket like they use to make French fries grab it very convenient for hanging in your pans to let cups and pre filters to steam clean and pre heat

Ya I did my last boil today.. :( horrible season...
Hey Mark. It's looking like in a week you'll be back to below freezing nights. Any chance your maples won't have budded out by then? Maybe you should keep the taps in for another week, and maybe rinse out the buckets. What do you think?Quote:

Heard some peepers tonight.
