Collected 230 gallons today. No boiling however I’m doing some mid season cleaning. It’s amazing how much sugar sand I can get from just 20 gallons of syrup.

Started collecting again yesterday. Not running great but I got 250 yesterday an another 125 or so today. Running at two percent and can’t wait for the warmer weather to show up.

Between 6 PM Saturday night and 3 PM Sunday night my collection tank filled right to the top I caught it just to the point where it started to pour over another 275 gallons of sap and running...
I just finished tapping 275 this year. 125 on the old 5/16 gravity and increased 3/16 up to 150 taps. This will be the last year with the older 5/16 it just doesn’t measure up to what the 3/16...
I’m waiting on a new stack taper and pipe from leader that won’t be around until March 2 but I hope to have everything in place by then if we can hold out another 10 to 14 days it would...
I was watching the buds come out here in Whitehall today and the sugar content evaporate on me. Last boil and will make just over 50 gallons. Fantastic season

I hope this part of the season is behind us. This was a few weeks ago but I finally figured out how to post photos. ...
Collected 220 gallons today off of 247 taps, on a 36 hour run. The sap is down to 2% now. I have officially made more than I ever have before, surpassing 35.5 gallon mark set in 2015. I am hoping...
Small run today in Whitehall only collected about 90 gallons off of 247 taps. I was expecting more with the the temps we had. Waiting for the next break in the weather

After an 11 day break in the action due to the weather I finally started again yesterday. Ice is gone sap is flowing great and looking to make a lot of syrup. Up to 23 gallons so far with a good ways...
2 of my 3 lines are still running clear. Maybe one more boil left if I get anything good. 29 gallons so far this year. Closing in on my record 35 1/2 last year.

I gathered 180 gallons today off of 125 taps. Mostly from yesterday's run. Tomorrow I will gather up what is left and finish that off. At 24 gallons for a season total right now. Less than the 35...
Emptying out all the holding tanks and scrubbing things down. Fingers crossed this cold snap might give me a little bit more to boil.

Here in east Whitehall I am calling it a season. Things are yellowing quickly and starts to get a sour smell. Came close to 25 gallons in 5 days, I have to finish canning to get my final count. Not...
Sap is still running. It's quality is starting to fade a little. Switch over to "dark robust" last night or Dark Amber as I still prefer to call it.

Good run today and we are off to the races here in Whitehall....
