Im in the same boat.. had 110 gallons and was at 215 degrees when I ran out of sap. Can’t wait for the next run!
Hopefully tomorrow things start running! I didn’t get anything at all today the temps hovered right around 35 in Warren. Waiting to put my mountain maple controller to the test.
Mike - I may stop down later this afternoon if your around.
My sap has very low sugar content not sure the exact percentage because I don’t have a hydrometer or refractometer for sap I just boiled 80 gallons and only made about 3/4 of a gallon syrup
Just finished up catching up for the week up to 12.25 gallons made
I was going to add one this afternoon!! I want to also get the s3 controller for next year right now I’m just keeping an eye on it, I do have a bypass set up so I can just turn 2 valves manually to...
Just added a shurflo 4048 this afternoon to my set up what a night and day difference it makes!!
I got 86 taps in on 5/16 line done on Thursday still waiting on the sap to trickle in warren. I also have 30 buckets that I will put up must likely next weekend. Going to be in over my head with only...
Unfortunately I think I’m done for the year. Had a nasty sickness go through the house finally checked today and all my sap was spoiled, was sitting since Wednesday. 200 gallons down the drain....
I had my best run all year today! I wasn’t feeling the best yesterday now it’s timw to play catch up going to be a late one tonight. I have a total of 13 gallons on the year
Collected 45 gallons today, will be boiling tomorrow
I didn’t have a very good run today at all either. Hopefully tomorrow it runs a little better
How many taps?
Collected 65 gallons from yesterday early this morning, boiling now! Really need a shurflo and a s3 control system from mountain maple. My woods is so flat
Unfortunately I didn’t keep track of that. The lot I am on hardly has any grade change to it so my yield is most likely down a little untill I get a vacuum some day
I collect 105 gallons of sap from the last 2 today’s and started to boil tonight almost made my firat syrup of the year! Hope to draw off a little tomorrow. 19358
I was able to tap the 78 I have yesterday afternoon the short time they where out they ran great! I may expand a little more this coming weekend to get 100 for the year
Nicely done! hope it works out well for you.
I hope to set up shureflo system for next year, currently getting all my ducks in a row to set it up this summer if not possibly this season. Well trying to figure everything out I came across...
I have a small set up with 48 on tubing and 30 buckets by looking at the weather I will tap on Sunday.
I have the opportunity to buy a 2x6 with a pre-heater just trying to figure out a fair price. The pans are soldered, should I worry about lead or would it be okay? Everything else looks in real good...
