Thank you for the replies. I'm dumping it.

Collected about 200 gallons in the past few days and just started to boil. The sap did have a slightly off smell. As soon as it started to boil, the steam immediately smells kind of yeasty or like...

Sap was flowing very good the past 2 days for me in southern Indiana. Like Andrew said, after Sunday doesn't look good down here. Saturday is the last day in my forecast with temps dropping below...

Thank you. Over the past couple years, there have been times the hydrometer tapped on the bottom so I have no clue if the paper has moved. I probably need a spare one anyways so I might go ahead...

Which should I trust more? I calibrated my dial thermometer to 0 in boiling water, but when finishing, the dial thermometer reads 7 but the hydrometer still has a few lines to go. Tried to check...

I'm tapping today

PoseyCoMark, I am outside of corydon.

Is anyone else experiencing Deja Vu when looking at the forecast? I'm seeing the same thing as last year. No long deep freeze (other than the past week) and warm weather coming already. Jan 17 &...

I also dipped my finger and tasted it and it does not taste sour.

Ok. I nuked a mug of it but don't really know what it should smell like. It definitely does not smell like maple but also doesn't really smell sour either. It was a different kind of smell all...

I'll try that right now an let you know

I haven't been able to get to my sap all week and it is now very cloudy with some bubbles forming on top. There is absolutely no smell to it though. Wondering if it's even worth trying to boil...

Wednesday night has a low of 23, Thursday high of 31 Thursday night low of 27. The cabin will not stay above freezing.

I may just make the trip and pick it up. I hate driving.:cry:

So I had to leave my cabin in a hurry today and forgot my ro membrane. It is stored in a 4" pvc tube. My cabin is unheated and temps will drop below freezing for about 30-36 straight hours this...

This is only my 2nd year tapping and the weather in southern Indian is warmer than last year. It appears that day temps will stay above freezing every day in the foreseeable forecast. We haven't...

I made one similar to this posted by Yellzee. It works great for the 100 taps I have. I just have to use left hand to keep the clamps aligned with the tubing but it worked great and I was able to...

I went with 3/16 for my first year tapping. First day, I got about 75 gallons from 60 taps. I could not believe how fast the sap was running out of the lines. I have 50 ft drop from top tap and...

this is my first year tapping and I went with 3/16. I have 4 runs down a slope. 3 have a 20+ ft slope after the last tap. 1 Has a 5 ft slope after the last tap with several taps under 20 ft. I...

I will be putting up some 3/16 gravity lines this year. I have about a 40 foot drop but at the top of the line, there are a few trees I would like to get on the line. Problem is, they are on the...

Flats, It sounds like you need another lawyer to collect whats due to you from the this lawyer. But then again, from post 4, it sounds like you don't have very good luck with lawyers.

I may be looking into purchasing a remote piece of land. 11 acres with very good slope. I'll just have to build a bridge across a small creek. If I do buy it, I will want to keep the tubing up...
