First time poster here. Trying maple syrup as a backyard hobbyist for the first time this year. Doing 10 taps with bags. Tapped 7 trees at home 2/23 and 2 trees at work 2/24. Taps at home at still dry, the 2 taps 25 min south at work have given about half gallon each so far. Will continue to post updates.
Welcome aboard Moto - Caught the maple bug. Hard to get rid of once you get it. Just seems to grow. Make sure to keep it fun.
Welcome MotoBBQ! I just got done getting all my taps in. Sounds like I haven't missed much in the area as most are not getting much if anything. About half the taps I put in were dripping today.
I tapped 35 trees today about 10 miles SW of Hutchinson, MN. Nearly all of them were dripping. No snow and warm temps this year for tapping.
I and my son tapped 100 trees over the weekend 80 on Saturday and 20 on Sunday, some of the trees where dripping Sunday and Monday afternoon but not much volume yet. With the current weather not expecting a collectible amount anytime soon maybe this weekend.
Happy Sapping
I was happy to find about 11 gallons today....they appear to be waking up all silvers along the Rum. Won't be long.
Decent little run yesterday in the Milaca Area of 23 gallons. Not all trees are awake yet for me. With the warmer week ahead I would assume they will if we can get cold enough at night.
Oh that's music to my ears! I've been road tripping and was concerned I was going to miss all the fun this year. Maybe not!Quote:
