Uhm Big Eddy...just a teeny bit confused...what exactly IS a Canadian gallon? I've lived here (almost) my whole life and never heard the term before. USG is 3.78l,, and Imperial is 4.5l. So is Cdn a dead-on 4l??
Meanwhile got 31 litres today...2 full 15l water containers and an extra l and a bit in a third. Yesterday's collection is still boiling away like mad at the moment to get it down to *nearup*, don't want to get swamped...would like to leave the house at some point in time this weekend!!
You're a lucky girl Susan. Send some of that sap down here.
Ya, I was surprised at how well it ran today! Good times

You guys must have had a totally different day, weather wise, than we did. There was squat here. I'm glad that you got some decent runs.
I just finished boiling what I collected on Thursday, its filtering right now, if I had to guess I would say close to 2 ltrs finished syrup,it's really dark though, darkest so far this season.
Between what ran yesterday and overnight we have over 3000 gallons of beautiful sap ahead of us to start the day. The RO will get a workout today! The releasers are only dumping every 12 minutes which means we're getting about 100 gallons per hour but it's better than nothing!
Wow, I am so glad the trees were slow today and gave me *only* 15l...still haven't finished boiling off what I got yesterday though the end is in sight (I hope). And got just over 2l of beautiful crystal-clear light amber syrup from 50l of sap. Happy! Now just have to make sure I'm not up til midnight tonight making nearup....tomorrow is gonna be insane.
Been boiling every day steady for several days now, not real long boils, but average 15-20 gallons of syrup a day will add up. Tapped another bush tonight as there wasn't much today. Vacuum is making a big difference as our neighbors that are all buckets or tubing with no vacuum had nothing to boil on days we ere boiling.
Nothin here the last two days....today might be a huge day though!!
We ended up with almost 4600 gallons of sap between yesterday's and Friday's run so my brother had a late night. I just got the report back from the bush that the releaser in our new bush is already tripping at 1m45s intervals! Should be a good day.
