We had a huge run yesterday as well. Lost a few gallons as my transfer pump fuse blew but still managed to collect over 300 gallons in the past 2 days. RO is running and I'll be boiling in a couple hours...
Thanks for the help.
I picked up a record for me 225 gal/sap today. Several of my 3 gal. buckets were overflowing in 24 hours. My back feels it too. Lots of steam tomorrow -
Record for us also. 200 last night and didn’t get to barrels next door. At least another 100
Well over 500 gallons in 3 days.
Boiled yesterday.
Boiling today.
Getting tired!
This morning I started boiling about 5 AM, by 6 I had to shut down as I couldn't stop the foaming in the front pans. Lost an hour as I had to shovel out the fire, get the front pans cool enough to drain & add some vinegar. About 15 minutes of scrubbing had them shining like new, reloaded, refired. Later went and picked up another 175 gal/sap for tomorrow - that put me over 2000 for the year. Weather needs to cool a little.
My sap has very low sugar content not sure the exact percentage because I don’t have a hydrometer or refractometer for sap I just boiled 80 gallons and only made about 3/4 of a gallon syrup
Tobey - if you get over my way bring a sample of sap & syrup, we'll test it -
Got another 140 last night. Sap was 1.5 percent. Recycled through RO to boil today. Trees ready to bud.
Mike - I may stop down later this afternoon if your around.
