I started at 2% and the last week its dropped to 1%. Wouldn't be an issue if I had more trees but I'm only working with 16 taps on my vacuum system. I get about 17gals a day. Would of called it the...

Was always a favorite spot to go for breakfast. I wish I was her kids/grandparents. I would keep it open

Flowing good today, needed those extra freezing temps where it didn't flow for 3 days. My sugar jumped to 2.5% from 1.4%. Can't wait till I own some actual land with sugar maples on them. Second year...

I start by setting all my spouts and attacking to a tee inside where the boiling water doesn't cool down as quick. Without a tool it's a pain outside but my trees are close enough where the water...

You need to add a recirculating line from your collection tank back into your manifold with a needle valve to control flow. You'll get 20 to 22 in. Vacuum that way. These pumps need a little kick...

I would only risk it if your on vacuum otherwise your holes might close up during some of the best flows. I drilled some test holes with no flow yet and I'm in mass

It was the first thing I search for when started tapping last year. Great for logging your sap and to see what others are doing around you

Thinking about tapping in Franklin county Saturday so that I can get every drop for the start of Sunday's warm spell. 3 straight days in the 40's and the rest in mid 30's. Crossing my fingers on no...

Where did you find those pans? I can only find 4" deep

Temps in Needham for the next 10 days actually don't look bad. If I had those temps I would be tapping. Over here in Franklin County area temps run around 7 degrees cooler and my trees don't seem to...

I'm waiting, you'll have 3 good day but first week in February is looking cold. As much as I wanted to tap this week, I'm holding off till at least the 10th.

I wanna tap so badly but forecast isn't looking to good for the next 10 days in Massachusetts. 2 days of flow isn't worth destroying my little production that I do with 20 taps. Plus I still need to...

Shurflo is definitely the way to go. It doubled my sap production. I've got a really small op 20 taps. Wish I had more land. How many taps do you plan on going with? A shurflo pump can handle about...

Lucky, my lawn syrup was gone by August. The wife uses it in everything, even maple macchiatos. 3 gallons don't last long

The saps flowing nice but noticing that the sap isn't tasting sweet anymore. Has more of an earthy taste. Boiling today with fingers crossed.
