Sounds similar to us! Though, We've lost a lot of sap simply as We don't have the capacity for this volume.. It's a pretty good problem to have!Quote:

Had some company on Saturday while boiling:
Attachment 14040
Well yesterday I got a record 101l sap and today, *only* mere 82.4l...which brings total sap this year up to 421l. Made nearup last night and plan to make more tonight, would like to make batch #4 tomorrow night but still have to tackle that 80+l sitting outside in cold storage!!! #2 is really killing it this year, the south pail was about to overflow this morning even with all the crap weather it's still showing off and producing gallons of sap while all the others are playing it safe and easing up!
Gave my nephew 30L of the 110L I collected this morning. He's trying his hand at making syrup for the first time this year. Boy it felt great to see that sap leave the driveway. :lol:
Now your pushing the addiction! It's dealers like you that give syrup a good name. You should be ashamed.Quote:

I also gave him some spiles, jugs, totes, filters, mason jars and a bottle of this year's liquid gold. He's toast. :lol: It was self preservation really. I have to have someone in the family that isn't sick and tired of hearing about making syrup. I can usually clear a room in under five minutes.Quote:

On a good note I resweetened the pans as well this after noon and boiled off 90 gallons in 4 hours.

Hey Karen
Did you see my post earlier today directed at you and Glenda ?
I thinks you mean me, Galena, not Glenda...and actually it's Karen (Run Forest Run!) and Lesley (LesPetras) who have recently got or built arches. Meanwhile I am definitely thinking about it, saw a teeny tiny li'l evap for $500 at Covell'sQuote:
