You can't blame us for trying! We ran the pumps from Wednesday evening until Friday morning and I was greeted by 4 almost full tanks - of very ropey sap! Time to open the valves and start cleaning...

We will have a CDL RO for sale. PM me for details.

Another great weekend for us. My brother boiled Wednesday and left almost nothing in the woods. By Friday morning I had all the tanks full to the top! Ohhhh boy... 9000 gallons of sap to get through....

The sap ran very well late yesterday. Can't get to the camp until early tomorrow morning so it will be a long day tomorrow!

We are boiling again today what we've gathered since Monday. Hopefully another day - another 0.1 L/tap! Looking to get those numbers over 1.5L/tap by the end of the weekend?!?!

Thanks Karen. Our total sap gathered hasn't been that high but when you are concentrating 3.0% sap into 15% concentrate it comes off the far end of the evaporator fast and furious! I haven't done the...

So I'm now officially exhausted...

We got the new high pressure pump for the RO to the sugar camp by 11pm on Friday night. We had a few challenges with getting it installed so it wasn't running...

Is there ever a good day to blow the high pressure pump on your RO machine? Luckily the nearest 5Hp replacement was only an hour away and I didn't need to drive to Quebec City!

Yesterday was a little hectic to say the least. I got the RO running by 6:30am with 3500 gallons of sap in the sugar camp and another 4000 in the woods. RO ran steady until 5pm. Fired up at 12:30 and...

The weekend was underwhelming for us. Less than 0.75 gallons per tap in total from Friday to Sunday. We pushed it through yesterday to get it cleaned up. Hoping the end of this week and the weekend...

Yesterday was disappointing for us. I had 1800 gallons in the sugar camp from M-W and only got another 1,000 gallons yesterday despite what I figured were good conditions. Thankfully the sugar...

Not as good a weekend as I would have liked but I got the first solo boils out of my system and now I'm up to speed. It always takes me a few boils to get the timing down for starting the RO,...

A bit of a disappointing weekend for us. Between Thursday and Friday we got a total of 1 GPT. We ran it through and sweetened the pans enough to get runoffs for an hour and a half before shutting...

We had one break this year but it had probably done upwards to 2000 taps. Can be a combination of wobbling while tapping (arms tired or slipped) and maybe the drill not being a full speed?

I have a 300 gallon white poly vertical tank I'd be willing to sell. If that works for you send me a PM.

We got our remaining 1100 taps done on Saturday. The going was better in snowshoes this weekend because the rain last weekend made the snow a bit more dense but it wasn't so crusty that you couldn't...

After last year's season being 8 weeks long and never really running hard I'm totally OK with a short and fast 4 week season!

We're 75% tapped. We got a few hours tapping done on the Saturday of the long weekend. This weekend we had 7 of us at it on Saturday and 4 of us tapping yesterday so we managed to get about 3,000...
