Last boil was April 1st and all lines are flushed, all tanks washed and stored in sugarhouse, all buckets washed and all the firewood is in the woodshed and ready for next season. Evaporator is filled and soaking with vinegar and water and appears all the scale on the syrup pan dividers is flaking off slowly but surely. Probably leave pans filled for another 7 to 10 days as Steamaway is cleaned for next year already. Hoping and praying about adding RO for next season as that looks to be in the plans for now along with adding a lot more taps.

Mark,
What was his season totals??
-
Brandon,
I probably shouldn't post his total barrel count on here, I'm pretty sure he got over 250000 gallons of sap from his trees, divide by your sap to syrup ratio! that should get in the ball park for his total.

Took the plunge and ordered a 500 gph RO unit from Deer Run Maple(Ray Gingerich). Hope to pick up later this month and have everything hooked up several months before season. Ordered 15 rolls of 3/16" tubing and fittings and hope to add at least 200 to 300 new taps and convert some old ones to 3/16 for next season.
