We dumped everything from this past week, couldn't hold our sap from the 2 days above 70. Soft maples have budded, I think we will try it next week and see what happens. I have a couple of soft...

I concur, that's a tap hole.

A gentleman asked me why I wasn't using a Y fitting where my drop ties into my lateral lines. I use Ts. I responded that I read a post on Mapletrader from Dr. Tim , that this wasn't a good practice,...

H50 + taps will keep you busy with a block arch that's for sure. I boiled til 2 am, wife took over at 5am,definitely going to take us all day to get done. Sap has slowed way down with warm nights....

Sbedilion,

How did your boil go today. Let us know how much syrup you ended up with.

Just started boiling off 180+|- gals. Pretty good week early, sap slowed down some the past 2 days. Need a couple cold nights. We are 11 days ahead of last years start.

Added another barrel tonight, sap running over when I got home from work. 125 gallons of sap collected since Sunday afternoon, still running good. Going to be a busy weekend boiling, off to a great...

That stinks!! Hopefully things get going for you.
Keep us posted!!!

Well how's it going? You promised us pictures..

Probably going to dump it. Thanks for the input. Quality is everything to us. We still have around 80 gallons of sap in our walk in cooler.

The sap I couldn't fit in my small walk in cooler is at 60° it has been in my garage out of any direct sunlight, but is a little cloudier than other sap we have boiled before . Is 60° to warm?

Just moved 110 gallons from the bush to our walk in cooler, going to collect tonight thru tomorrow and pull my taps tomorrow evening. 70° tomorrow and 76°Wednesday with night lows in the high 40s....

Boiled 150 gallons water made 2.8 gallons syurp. 1.8%. Seems to be the norm for this season. Does anybody have a theory on the low percentages this year? I tap 39 sugar maples and 4 soft maples...
