Last boil for me tonight. Making some dark to maybe very dark syrup but the flor knock on wood is still very good. I can’t image it running much longer given the warm nights in addition to the sap...

Sap is hammering into the tanks today/tonight. Really wish I had vac to capitalize, was about 1.75GPT on 3/16” and by far the hardest run of the year. RO doing the heavy lifting this year and...

So after the hard freeze Friday night into yesterday, sap jumped up to 1.75% at my place and then a remote site I collect from had bumped up to 2%. Sap a pinch of cloud to it but still excellent...

Well done sir! Impressive to say the least, always a good problem to have especially on a year like this one!

Even with a strong wind today the sap seemed to continue to flow here in Middlesex. Will let it flow tonight then gather and process tomorrow.

I concentrated all the material I had on hand yesterday going from 1.1% up to the high teens. After boiling the product I ended up with was an absolutely delicious dark syrup that the whole family...

Well the sap ran great here in Middlesex. Unfortunately that came at the cost of 1.1% SSC. One of my small bushes located about 5 miles from the house test right at 2%.

Good news is I was able to...

What did everyone see for sap movement yesterday into this morning? The wind blew so hard here in Middlesex I thought the roof was gonna come off

Sounds like some are waiting and some (like myself) are hoping for one more solid week of working weather before things let go. It’ll be a busy weekend for myself with the workload I’ve yet to do....

Made my way through Bristol yesterday for work and saw some very clean woods and set ups along RT. 116. I did check to see if GeneralStark was close to the main road but it appears he's a bit...

I had to do some traveling yesterday. My range went from Montpelier, to Fairfax, then through Fletcher, Fairfield, Sheldon, and up to Enosburg Falls then over to St. Albans (I-89) and back to...

Morning everyone!
Hope everyone's summer was safe and productive.

Looking at adding at least 2-300 taps additional here and I'm actively on the hunt for an RO. If anyone knows of one that's a...

Fantastic to hear everyones totals, super impressive. I finished bottling this weekend and ended up with a total off 55 gallons on the nose. Crushed the 20 gallon goal I had. But as usual, I cannot...

Trees here are still running, and running hard today. I am all done but bringing sap over to a friend.

Last boil of the year for me today. Between splitting daycare duties with the wife and our work weeks I have just about run out of time. Should end up with another 20 gallons to bottle. I exceeded my...

Well sap is running strong right now but the wind is absolutely pounding. Hoping the woods can handle it with the soft ground

Kids let me get a 3 hour nap before they let me know how late I slept in haha. Went well, cooled off quickly last night. Made about 7 gallons of what looks like dark robust. Everyone enjoy the...

Im pulling an all nighter. Sap test at 1.8-1.9%. Couldnt believe it came back up that much. Plan to boil right through the night and ill keep myself busy and awake reading about everyones ROs....

Still boiling here in Middlesex. Had a broken up day with the wifes schedule and grabbing the kids from school. Add on top of that a minor mechanical malfunction (oil apparently is not the silver...

Had varying temps here. My (IBC) tank was 3/4 full already but my remote site with same tank and cold temps only had 50 gallons. Not disappointed though as those cold woods will be hammering the next...

I too am running at 1.9% spud.

Got an additional 3/16 line up and was able to add another 20 trees on that bringing my total tap count to 106. Was flowing quite nicely today!

So boiled until 11:30 last night. Only had two draws, definitely discouraging. Went and checked the tank at my other site and have 75-ish gallons of 2.1-2.2*. Probably going to go grab that later...

I agree, the 3/16 does pull like a train once it starts filling the lines. However, I am testing 1.5% and am rather unimpressed. New rig is boiling great and chewing through the sap but definitely...

I had my first official boil on the new rig. Approximate average evaporation rate was 43gph, but that was a rough estimate. Was very happy with the rig and was happy to have one less thing to tend...

General, how did you plumb in your sight tube?
