Only thing flowing for me the last two days are my 3/16th lines and only one of these is moving very well. 5/16 and buckets mostly dry the temps last two nights have not gotten down below freezing up there but tonight will and I expect it to break loose tomorrow.
Sap coming in fair today. One of my pumps burned up. Motor went on my 3 horse liquid , going to get it fixed tomorow
Boiled just about 300 gal. in just under 3 hours and still not maxing out the rig. All the sap boiled came in overnight and today as I boiled everything in tanks yesterday. Running surprisingly well today, but just on the verge of freezing up now. Closing in on 40 gal. so far. All golden delicate with a nice buttery flavor.
Won;t be able to boil again til Tuesday so we'll see what comes in the rest of today and tomorrow, but Tuesday on looks real good.
2 barrels today
Not bad for me
Randy, it must be the year. We had a 3 hp liquid ring motor smoke. Non repairable, had to buy a new/used motor. Actually we rebuilt the pump while it was apart and the thing is pulling 28 on about 1600 taps now. It's only money right....
I knew that donut comment was going to haunt me. I think green mountain power sent a power surge to that trash can that is on the utility pole above my vacuum shed.
My sap gets trucked 15 minutes away from my house. The trucks hold 3500 gallons each. They run two trucks all season and pick up sap from about 8 locations. Although I have 7500 gallons storage (two tanks). I call for pick up when I know there is 3500 gallons in my tank. Based on what GPH I am getting I sometimes wait to call until 5:30-6:00am so they can come when my driveway is still froze. The people I deal with are about as nice as can be. They run a top notch 70,000 tap operation.Quote:

Made my first gallon today. Nice fancy batch but it's sweeter than I've ever tasted. hopefully more to boil this week.
