Anyone still going?
Yes I would let that be my indicator
Dripping into different pails would prevent the whole batch from going bad but remember this will be at the end of the year and you would be making more work...
Don't worry about the buds, let the smell/taste of the sap tell you when you should be done. Both taste and/or smell will be off and recognizable when you collect from the pails.
Yesterday I decided to call it, mainly because of time. It was a good sap year! 12 gallons of finished sap. My final ratios were up from usual 38.6:1 for sap to syrup ratios. Normally I get...
I have been experiencing lower than normal sugar content as well. The flow has been great! 6.5 gallons so far.
I put mine in as well today....Should get some kind of run this week. I would say half were dripping decently when I was tapping and only 36 degrees. Fingers crossed for sap and time to boil it:)
Excellent! I was wondering how those of you who were still going were doing. My decision to pull taps proved to be a good decision for me as I would be flooded out the entire time from the Rum. zThen...
I pulled mine yesterday and washed everything since the river was still high where I tap and would have needed bags. Some of the tap were in waste deep water or better. Call it a year with 4.75...
I went and pulled my buckets Tuesday that were in low spots by the river and then the rest yesterday as it was coming up quick! I left my taps in the trees and maybe it will go down in time to...
I just heard back from the company and they said it should be fine just store them in a cool dry place.
Wondering if anyone knows if the 400 gpd Membrane Solutions membranes I purchased this year will still be good next year if left in the packaging unused/unopened. We had a bummer of a season here in...
That's what I see too from Tuesday through the 22 of April low's in the upper 30's low 40's. I am in Milaca. As recommended in the previous post to the one above I think I will leave them in since...
Wondering if people are going to leave taps in the lower 2/3 of the state with the prolonged warm-up coming? I almost feel like I have to in hopes the forecast is wrong since the sap output has been...
Favorite: Eating it on waffles before work most mornings
Least Favorite: the dry rough burnt hands from hot and cold. Seems like not matter how careful I am, my hands take a beating after boiling.
I was hoping for a good run today but it didn't pan out only four gallons. Odd thing was a friend of mine a mile south had full buckets on most of his trees. Said it was his best day ever. He taps...
The long range does not look good for me here in central MN...Maybe a few days in the next week where we may get a short run but now too warm of a long range. Hopefully all the remaining snowpack...
Yes it has been slow, the little sap I have I will boil this weekend hoping to get a gallon of syrup. The high winds should make it a chilly one Saturday. Early and late next week look hopeful.
This weather pattern of cool temps just won't bust! I put in 15 more taps for a total of 65 just in case it is a quick season. My fear is when it the pattern turns it's going to turn quick. I could...
This was true for me today, I wanted to make sure everything was ready for the wind and low and behold there was 10 gallons there....it's a start. Will be a few days until I get more I imagine but...
I tapped 50 trees today in the snow. Odd thing was that even though it only got to 30 degrees some of the holes were saturated before I got the tap in after I drilled. Never expected that at that...
Seems like it! A guy in the Isanti area has had taps out for the past week and only has a a couple gallons. I will tap Sunday even though the long range does not look favorable other than a few days...
This is very interesting to me...ChaskaSap. Do you know what your high/low temps were? Makes me think I should have tapped!
I guess I am behind and don't have a single tree tapped! Wondering if anyone in the Milaca area or central Mn region is seeing any sort of run?
Still looking like a week or two out....I hate to say but that works for me, however don't get me wrong I would take it any day we can get it!
Each time I look at the long range I wait for it to be favorable but as of now looks to remain cold in the first week of March not to mention this storm coming and the active pattern after it. It...
