I’d gladly meet up with everyone here! Just let me know time and place.
I was just about to post about the peepers! There aren’t many singing but you can hear them. I am not showing any buds yet so I hope that bails is out! I really hope the forecast holds true.
Anyone’s taps not running as welll as they would hope? I would have thought I’d be getting a lot more sap than I have. I was expecting to see the buckets overflowing!
I had jury duty today that started at noon. I collected what i had in the buckets and started to boil before i left. it was only about 10 gallons. i ended up with 40 ounces. I believe that is around...
Thanks John! that pot i got from you was put to use the rest of last season. My numbers from this boil were 45-1. Beautiful light color syrup! 5050 did you order bottles through your neighbor yet?
I'm boiling down the 20 quarts of sap I collected this afternoon now. I'll let you know what it is in a little bit. My backyard trees were really high the past few years. I believe they were around...
I just finished putting in my taps for today. It was really fun sloshing around in the mud on a hill!!! They are running pretty good today i was suprised! Im going to end up with about 20 in total...
So I am boiling down my last 30 gallons tonight. This will put me at about 3 gallons of syrup on the season! It is weird my mid week boil yielded some darker syrup, but the stuff i finished last...
Turned out just fine boiled 20 yesterday and finished last night. I should be finishing another 20 today. I got about half of the second batch done last night and Ran out of time. No idea where that...
Seems to be running good today! As for the quality of the sap we'll know tomorrow.
My trees still don't have buds yet. Everything is froze solid, but I still seem to be producing sap. The weather looks good for the next week!
I only have about 30 gallons of sap to boil down. I could grab the pots today and return them tomorrow. I would love to get it done today!
I haven't heard back from the guy selling the pot. Could I grab that one from you John? I'm on vacation this week so I'm available all day.
Thanks John. I will let you know about the pot. I am trying to buy one on letgo that is 80 quarts. Do you think the bags work better than 5 gallon buckets?
Thanks for the info folks! I had what could have been a disaster last night! I found out the hard way that it's possible to melt aluminum with a turkey fryer!!!! Thankfully the shed is fine, but the...
Also where do you all buy your bottles? the mason jars are a pain in the butt!

So this is my first syrup from this season. I have 10 taps in 4 big backyard maples. I have some sap from last week that was iced over. Do you think I can still boil it? When i checked it is...
