Been a while since my last post. Been really busy but figured I'd take the time to update. Been pretty steady with tubing installs since last July. Getting to see quite a few places! Upgrading the...

All moved in and operational to the best I could do for this year. Minor things to finish in the sugarhouse to have it the way I want it. Expansion planned for this year as well if time permits with...

Still going here. Sap looks more like milk at this point going to try to make it to next Friday but we will see. Cleaned tanks this morning and sap is running but it's only 34 here so it's slow. Went...

Things are starting slow here. Running pretty good for how cold it has been. Frost is the main issue now out my way. I had very little snow cover when it was super cold in January and early Feb. Just...

Ended up with 66 gallons of good dark amber out of the warm up. Having a load of gravel delivered to the pump house at the big woods to hopefully help with driveway situation. Cold day for a 30 min...

Broke loose here. 2600 gallons out if this run and still going strong. Low sugar but owell. Hoping to have enough to boil by the end of the day tomorrow.

Tapping full steam ahead here. 3,200 or so in today. Im really hoping to have all 5000 in by the end of the weekend but will see. Spent 5 hours pushing snow around today, and was woken up at 430 to...

I like the Lapierre bit for frozen wood.

Going to pull the trigger this week. Just waiting for the cold to come back.

Gary,
I have a buddy that just bought a rig identical to yours. What are you getting for rates out of yours is it...

I use cdl semi rigid with cdl seasonal smart spouts and did .45 last year.

Im not sure how it happened. I would have loved to have a wood pellet but the price was right on this one. Its a 6x16 oil fired with a max flue pan. It will also have a steam away on it soon. I was...

It's a leader.

Well the move to the new sugarhouse is almost done. Evap is in and the electric company should hookup my service this week. All that's left is to get the R.O. in its new home. As soon as the high...

Took a load the other day and they were paying 8 dollars a hundred. Walked out with 108 bucks

To date I've made 1440 gallons. Ended up getting 3000 gallons of sap today. Didn't really think it would run today but I'm not complaining. Going to send that through the R.O. In the morning and...

To date I've made 830 gallons. Tomorrow will be a week of being froze up. Got 1300 gallons of sap yesterday but not enough to really get things going to process it. Today tomorrow and Friday look...

Long day. Made 170 gallons. No idea how much sap I collected I lost track of the number of trips. Just brought home 1100 gallons to keep the tank from running over.

Things warmed up here around 3. Running pretty good right now but already cooling off. I hear what your saying mapleack. Hoping the nights stay cool.

Scott

To date 5 barrels full and counting. Looks cold the next two or three days so I have the syrup pans sitting in vinegar cleaning up a bit. Collect what ran today in the morning. Looks like only about...

It's starting kick in here. Going to collect all day and then let it run over night and kick the R.O. On in the morning. Big boil tomorrow.

Turned the pump on this morning and took till about 2 for the trees to start to kick in. Running pretty good now. Got up to 24.5" on the whole 3,700 still a few leaks to find. Boil what I get today...

Finished tapping today. 3700 almost even. Got a few things to fix before the next run but for the most part I think I'm ready.

Scott

Dennis- it started running around 9am Tuesday and quit Thursday morning around 7:30ish.

Scott

Got 4700 gallons of sap out of this run on 1700 taps. Made just over 70 gallons of medium plus what's in the evap. R.O. is up and going and man I love boiling concentrate. Going back to tapping in...

Finally got the new one hooked up? Good luck this year.
