They always look like that. Also, I have 80% red maple and they still produce good syrup after the buds come out.
Heus, not tapping yet. If I had my pans, we would be boiling today.

OLJ I thought you had the pans aready. I see your ro is 900 gph did you add on to your 600 or get a whole new ro?
I bought a second 600GPH unit. The exact same unit. I like the first one so much, I bought another one just like it. Only, I only have 50amps, so I will run two posts on a single pressure pump. When you do that, you don't get 1200GPH (I wish it did) - you get 900GPH. Down the road, I'll have the power supply to run two 600GPH units for 1200GPH, total.
Is everyone still planing on taping this weekend?? I just dusted off the quad and the dewalts batteries are charging we are planing on taping this weekend
Starting to look good for next week - it's also getting close to normal tap time..President's Day is what I was told. If it's in the mid 30's Sat and Sun; I'm going to start drilling some holes and hanging some bags.
May tap Thursday morning, they are calling for 38/31. Saturday looks nice enough to have some friends over for beers and a boil if we can get a decent run on Friday.
ima tap probley saturday, im not even close to ready. my dealer is pulling some strings for me and will hopefully have me a base stack and 20ft of 16in pipe by this weekend. gotta go buy more taps and clean pans. oh and i gotta insulate the evap still. did i mention there isnt even a roof on the building yet? roof or not there will be syrup made lol. i gotta stop this procrastinating thing!
gonna start tapping tomorrow hopefully, been workin like crazy to get everthing set up, all the upgrades im doin this year is taking a lot more work then i thought, but its gonna be well worth is allmost done tho have 400 taps on vacc this year so im trying to prefect that we willl see, the weather is lookin really good for this weekend, im ready to smell that sweet aroma in the sugar house.
Look like this will be a good weekend to start tapping! I'll probably start Friday!
we have 100 in and got a good run a few weekends ago, and have 1500 ft of 5/16 to hang this weekend. hoping to have it all up and tapped. I've got about 80-100 taps left so may no make it to 300 this year, but It'll be enough for this time. will be ready to boil this weekend if it runs, got about 80 gallons frozen waiting on the real start, and out of freezer space.
