I hear ya there I could have ran a bunch buckets but didn't really just a time thing. I wish I had at this but to late. I dumped 300 gallons of sap during the long warm spell. That hurt a bit but it...

I have had a good season as far as things going pretty well. Definitely the worst season as far as productivity goes in the 12 years I have been playing with it. I will probably be a little over half...

I have not drilled a hole yet do to family ski trip we had planned last weekend. I was feeling behind now I'm feeling good I think it will all work out. Your comment that you wouldn't have tapped yet...

Pulled out on Sunday . Had pretty good freeze Friday night and did not run well Saturday and what I did get was around 1% sugar . I just figured it was time had a great season. I am amazed at how the...

Sap I picked up today was at 1.3% not to good. Started off 2.25% went down came back a bit. last year seemed to stick at 2% or better for nearly the entire season. Yup feeling the end is near.

Anyone else's sap sugar content drop ?

The 3/16 tubing has really changed the game for me. At 85 gallons of finished syrup is more then I have ever made. I got off to a slow start this year as well. Definitely going to hit the 100 gallon...

Abbott, that is what I thought to I liked what I saw though. There 10 dollar gauges so probably not exact. It's 30 degrees at my house right now but I live in valley. We will see .

21155 an other one was flowing at 60 gallons an hour on 460 taps at noon the new lines will definitely pay for them selves !!

21154the 3/16 s has definitely increased sap production by alot

Never froze for me last night got down to 34 but was running at 15 gallons an hour at noon. I haven't made it up to check vacuum gauges yet but I think the new 3/16 is pulling pretty good. Sweetened...

Have not boiled yet but the 3/16 is up and going. I keep a pint jar at my collection tank so I can time the flow. At 11 this morning it was running at 34.2 gallons an hour on 460 taps . I believe the...

I told myself I would replace all the lines before tapping but I couldn't stand it needed to see some sap. I got 225 in on Monday between 10:00 and 5:00. It was running pretty good no freeze Monday...

So how did the sap run today? I decided last week to change 400 taps over to 3/16 in my spare time so I'm not ready yet but curious what I am missing. Took down the 5/16 and added about 30 feet in...

I have a 450 gallon poly tank that has a 2 inch crack right beside the bulkhead fitting. Who knows how to fix it ???

I have a 450 gallon Polly tank that has a 2 inch crack right near the bulkhead fitting. Just looking for thoughts in repairing ? Thanks

Yesterday was the best run for me so far a little under a gallon per tap . Hoping for some better flow next week. I sure hope it cools back off .

Finally got to fire up the evaporator last night pulled off a few gallons. Hoping for a little better flow today. Definitely would agree that the South facing slopes ran best yesterday. Decided not...

Is it just me or are the trees starting off kinda slow ??

I'm in the same boat. Waiting for a better looking weather pattern.

Its official I'm all done for the season. 400 taps on gravity only produced about 25 gallons yesturday. Should be around 80 gallons of syrup for the season.. After I clean out the evaporator. Not a...

Same here finally made some dark. Beginning of last week seemed like perfect weather but didn't really run that great. The few reds I have are definitely showing sign of budding.sugar maple not...

Pretty quite on here. What you all thinking . I'm thinking about pulling out what you all thinking I hate to but I'm thinking about it.

Looks like we are going to be froze up for a few days. Been a good season pretty sporadic to say the least. I am about half of my normal season. I have got all 550 on 3/16 line and have been...

You guys got any suggestions on gauges to use ?
