Collected 16 gallons Tues, nothing since. Won't have time to pull the taps until next week sometime, but all signs indicate it's about over. Would be nice to squeeze out one more batch if we could....

He mostly likes to taste test, but hauling firewood and filtering aren't too far down the list!
Pulled in 120 gallons on 25 trees since 3/16, NE of Rosholt. Good run of 75 gallons first weekend, shut off for a couple days earlier this week when it got cold, then picked up 45 gallons between...
My rule of thumb is second Saturday in March, and it hasn't let us down yet. I've seen lots of people chase these early warm ups, only to end up retapping in March after they dried up.
Heard of several people tapping last weekend, and getting some running. But, past experience tells me not to chase these early warmups. End up getting a little bit, then you just muddle along until...
Rolled good until a bit of a breather today. Collecting a lot of gallons, but the sugar is running on the low side. 1.8 and 1.9 in the last two days.
Everything shut down from 3/13 until today. Finally picked up 16 gallons on our 25 trees. Should roll pretty well over the next week looking at the forecast.
Tapped 25 northeast of Rosholt Saturday morning. We picked up 22 gallons Sunday, but pretty dry since then. 2.1 on the sugar. Waiting for some colder temps to get things moving again.

First year at it, completely outside. I finish in a small pan on my deck or in the garage, depending on the weather. Building a garden shed in a few weeks, and I'm planning to...
Froze up and quit running. Pulling my taps this morning, as we've got enough sap to finish about 5 gallons of syrup. More than plenty for what we need! The last stuff that came off was much...
Finished 7 qts of syrup last night - that was the total accumulation from our 25 trees 3/10 - 3/20. Everything slowed back down to a crawl the last two days. 13 gallons of sap total for Friday and...
Was getting <5 gallons sap/day on 25 taps until today I got 12. Finally starting to pick up a little bit. Should be good the rest of this week until the cold stuff over the weekend.
Tapped 25 just outside Rosholt on 3/10. Only have about 20 gallons of sap so far. 5 of the trees are bone dry, the rest just dripping slow. Looks like the weather will be a bit more favorable this...
