Everything was overflowing after the low pressure system ,rain and good up and down temps WOW!!! going to be real busy now!
I had a real good run last knight also makes up for the spill I had yesterday. going to do my first real big boil of the season this weekend.
Send some of that great NJ sapping weather up here! Have fun you two!
Thanks ,will be busy tonight I'll send it up there Friday. Lol !!! Sitting on more then 100 gal before today in 2 days
Not even a drop of sap here in ny
Hopefully it's coming,I thought I was only going to have so so runs but now too much,boiling away tonight!I always think there something wrong with the tubing run holes leaks but but when it runs like this unreal!!! It's all working correct.
I guess it depends where you are in ny. Ive got 70 gals in the past 2 days from my 51 taps, all reds on buckets except for two sugars. Not great but its something.
what the hell I have 130 taps and I have barely gotten 40 gallons
I am sittin on 200 taps and maybe a quart of sap?
Not much here also 200 taps and about 30 gallons in the. Past two. Days
I have 12 taps and collected 20 gallons today. I use milk jugs and they have been overflowing...first thing this morning I got 9 gallons, lunchtime another 5, and then another 6 before heading to bed. I boiled down 30 today with another 20 waiting. Not counting this run, I have already made over a gallon of syrup.
I'm guessing its a pretty good year, considering its my first year.
Yesterday at 2 o'clock o gal. at 6:30, 150 gal.Can't wait to check this AM. Good luck all, Going to be a busy week-end.
Only made 7.5gAl so far on 160-180 taps, ratio 57:1 for me. Pumped 175 gallons yesterday to knock down today. Been slow going mostly reds for me.
I think the reds vary just like sugars do. I dont test individual trees but I have 48 taps in red, 2 in sugars, and 1 in a silver and the sap tested 2.3% in the tank using my sap hydrometer. Much higher than last years %. I'm sure the numbers will change but so far so good. I hope you all have a great season, good luck!
No lie collected total yesterday morning and afternoon 190 gal 50 or so taps and lost ? WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH overflowed even after placing new drums where the ones were full in morn,boiled down about 50 of it last night plenty to go and will see what comes today,froze last night?
Wow! You guys in NJ are living the dream! Congratulations on such a fun run. :)
Collected 50 gallons this week only have 12 trees taped should be a busy weekend
Finally the real flow has started. Collected 600 gls yesterday from the last 3 days. The other 100 gls was a giant ice cube in the tank from previous runs. The evap has been running great. Made 6.5 gls yesterday. Will be boiling today and tomorrow just to make room for Mondays pick up of sap.
Yes this is a run,were all busy down here! Good luck with everything ,I just hope I have wood left to heat the house HA HA!
I know it's early but I'm done.Had a great year, Made 4 gallons. Plenty for all the family. Flow was great the last week. Now it's on to firewood and tending the bee hives.
