Sap was really slow this morning, I'm going to leave the pump on for today. But it will definitely get turned off tonight. Buds are still tight but the highground is drying out and the tap holes...
I decided to forego the eclipse boil and hold off until tomorrow, I got maybe 1000-1100 gallons in the last 24 hours, we had a great freeze last night but I think the trees are just done. It has...
900 gallons of just under 1% sap today, we'll call it 9% sap. I'm going to boil it in tonight, probably be about 70 gallons after R.O.ing, made about 35 gallons last night. Going to make some Eclipse...
are you running an R.O., I remember when I wasn't and it sure takes awhile to make any syrup at 1%. I hope you had a good season MapleCamp
Hauled another 1000 gallons of sap today, tested 1%, the Sap is running as hard as it has all season. The Sap has that late season haze to it coming into the releaser but it looks mostly clear in...
Pulled in another 1000 gallons today, sap cleared up a bit, I really washed my Tanks up good & the Releaser. I should freeze up tonight & be frozen all day tomorrow I think. Going to hold on for as...
Still chugging along in Chatham. I think that I have about 1 week left looking at the forecast, might get 10days. Sap is a bit cloudy today but I think it should clear up tomorrow with the cooler...
Thanks Bap, it's been really good lately, I can't believe how hard it is running despite not a freeze for 4 nights, still coming in around 75 GPH, made 50 Gallons of Dark Tonight. 46 on the Hanna,...

Made 22 gallons today, had 40 middle school kids come bye for a tour and a few lessons, also had a group from the local senior center come over in the afternoon. It was a great day in the...
Sap is running good today. I would say I have 2 weeks left looking at the forecast, 108 gallons so far. So I hope I get the days. 2 feet of snow in the woods now, it's hard going on the snow shoes.
Got 2000 Gallons of 1% over the last 48 hrs, I was pretty happy with that I think the trees have only had about 10hrs a day to run, and Wednesday was quite windy, the syrup is Dark but on the edge...
I'm still at it Making syrup. My life is a bit of a zoo with Young kids and a Busy "Real Job" 2023 was kind of a lousy season for me, this year 2024 has Been good so Far, I've only made 80 Gallons...
I hung it up Thursday night, Vacuum pump got really noisy the last few days, thinking I am loosing a bearing. Was still pulling 27" but ot was really loud. Made 240 Gallons on 800 taps. I'm pretty...
, that's some good sap you are getting, my last few runs have been 1.2-1.3%, I've got a few days left I think. Might hold on to Friday. Curious what the rain will bring. Made about 15 gallons last...
Sap finally let loose last night, 2 GPT over the last 24hrs, the trees at the sugarhouse are still running good too. They usually quit a week before my main woods. Got atleast another week I think.
It All depends on how many taps you are boiling on compared to the size of your rig. If you are boiling 20% sap on a 2x6 from say 2000k taps you'd probably want to clean that flue pan after every...
I really like my Intensofire, it's a 3x10, brand new this year, I am running it in Gasification mode. It has a modulating blower fan and a thermocouple in the stack. Burning Hardwood I am going 30...
The vacuum pumps are getting a much needed break and the releasers a good scrubbing. We had a great open house weekend with lots of visitors. Maple Sugar was very popular and I need to remember to...

I've been making some great tasting Dark Syrup, starting to get used to the Intensofire. Last night I went almost 35 minutes between firing and was able to maintain my target stack temp of 725°, at...
My first Day filtered a bit hard but I think I just got a little too heavy, but I've been able to get atleast 20 gallons through my 5 frame press every time. I do use alot of DE, sometimes I'll say...
