Karen, Your right. It is like music to listen to 80 buckets dripping!
Just pick up 20 gallons out of 8- taps in only 3 hours and it is going like crazy!
Typo...80 taps...
just found out my main boiler (father -in-law) had to take today off and tonight.... sounds like I'm going to spend 2 hours collecting and hauling sap up to the shack... who is going to run the evaporator? bad timing for a holiday!!!
Lolz, thanks for the correction Dave, you had me incredibly envious there for a few minutes...;-]Quote:

Not a great run, but 3 gallons off of 6 trees is fine by me. And they're all still slowly chugging out the sap. Just keep chugging, is all I ask! Trying to get my first batch of syrup finished, so boiling off on the electric stove (woodstove not been on all day or things would be different). May as well make marshmallow-vanilla syrup while it lasts! :-)
Is it possible that from tapping march 11 that some are drying up already?

Kyle,
A research paper I read suggested that there was a "possibility" that taps slowed the longer they were there, but in that same report there appeared to be no slow-down in 3 months of tapping, so, I'd say no, its not your early tapping.
Patience...its a coming...;-]
Cheers,

Haha ok thanks Russ. Today just looked like it would have been way better. There's always tomorrow ;)
