Hoping to be ready to tap our high vacuum bush by first weekend in febuary. Then our second gravity only bush the tradition weekend before town meeting. Hoping for a great year with our new arch and homemade pans. Water leak testing this weekend and hoping to water boil next weekend after the arch is rebricked.
I'm kinda new to setting up a vacuum system, but someone told me that unobtainium is better than helium for a vacuum injecton setup. So I am going to look into getting some of that.Quote:

Randy is defiantly into the early tapping. Can't make up lost sap right!
Attended the Gasparilla Parade of the Pirates in Tampa 1/5/2011...based on the weather forcast back home haven't missed much of an opportunity to tap....will think about starting the 2nd week in Feb.
I'm thinking about tapping on feb8th looking at the long range forecast for my area. Hopefully they are some what close.
