Trees are tapped and bags are hung in Oak Grove Minnesota. Couple trees dripping slowly hoping for a good season. The long range forecast looks like a fast warm up. Hope there wrong!
Finished up the season and pull my taps Saturday morning. I think reaming my holes saved my season. Didn’t keep track of my sap but ended up with 7.25 gallons of sap on 25 taps. I tapped a little...
So I went out on a limb tonight and trying somthing new. My tap holes are about 1-1/2” deep and about 5 weeks old. I only have 35 taps on yard trees. Tonight I pulled the taps and sanitized then and...

Buds popped on my today. I hung it up and called it a season. Ended up with 5.25 gallons on 18 taps. Was a awesome season but things were smelling a little buddy today so I called it quits.

I just threw the block arch together really quick and made a 24x24x8 flat pan at work outta stainless. It works great. Has a nice draw up the chimney so it don't smoke out the front. I have a pretty...

Just finished processing all my sap from my 15 taps. Been collecting since last Monday. Ended up finishing up with 10.5 pints. No complaints about the start to my season.
I'm just a weekend warrior. Trying to make as much syrup as possible with the time I have. Work gets in the way of everything. I saw an opportunity to get sap so I'm taking full advantage. I only tap...
I know what bad sap is like. What I'm saying is I know this warm spell isn't gonna last and its gonna freeze up again. Will the bidding process start over is what I'm asking. With the budding...
I put out my 25 taps in my 3 acre yard yesterday. Almost all my trees are dripping. My question to you seasoned veterans is what if the trees bud? Usually I'm not even concerned about this but with...
