Atkinson buys syrup. The have a charge for doing a lead test so you need a decent amount to justify the cost ($ 50 I think ) for doing the test.

It worked for me in 07. I had made 66 gallons in March, it got hot and then it froze up April 4th to 10th and I rebored the lines and buckets and finished up on the 23rd of April. I made 77 gallons in April. Everybody gave up cuz there trees dried up!Quote:

Just looked at the long range from Accuweather.com, it's supposed to be unseasonably cold through to the end of April. This could mean one of those years that gets talked about for years after where producers who normally make 30-40 gallons, make 55-60+ gallons of syrup.From looking at the short term forecast it might be a good idea to issue a bigsap warning for Ontario and Quebec for mid to late next week.
Here's the link to the long range: http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/and...er-delayed.asp
Maybe someone else could have more specific information but I had heard from a friend that someone right close to your area is selling bulk syrup up around Perth somewhere. Same guy that just had a big holding tank delivered when you received your last shipment of supplies, up on Mother Barnes Rd. If that rings any bells for you.Quote:

Just got around to finishing my first batch for 2011 and I now have 3 gallons of the lightest syrup I've ever made. It actually compares to canola oil in colour. I have bottled up a little of it to keep as a souvenir but otherwise I have no idea what to do with it. I can't sell anything lighter than medium so there's no way for an extra extra light. It will likely end up being blended with late season stuff for the volume. It's cool to look at but sure doesn't seem like maple syrup to me. :rolleyes:
