We are all done too. Nothing running and what did is really stinky/cloudy. Will save that for the summer soak. Made only about 40 gal on 225 taps. We have made up to 140 before and usually...

We gathered 500 gal from 2 days, but pulled nothing off the pans. Not running very much now. Forecast showing warm days and cold nights. Might be another bad year for us again.

Started late this year and look like we might finish early. Usually make about 80-100 gal and so far only made 30. Maybe another 5 in the pans yet. Need to clean the tanks and wait for another...

We are still waiting for the last run. The ground is so dry around us that I think the trees are thirsty themselves.... Maybe with this rain it might decide to open up again.

We finally collected 550 gal of 2.6% sap on the 11th. Let it run for a couple of days over the weekend. Froze up again now, but looking good next couple of days. RO ran good. Took 400 gal out,...

We had some problems this month getting things ready, but all of our lines are up on the trees, tanks are washed, ready to go. Just waiting for a warmer day to tap. Was thinking this weekend, but...

Was our last boil last night. Ended up with about 80 gal for the year, which is average. Still have about 40 gal to bottle yet, but will wait till warmer weather comes.

We have slowed way down. Tonight might be our last boil as it took 4 days to get enough to fire up the RO. This week looks iffy weather wise.

Actually most strive to get .25 gal/tap. I actually got .5 gal last year, but that was a great year for us. You are at .3, so that is great... :)

Ours are just starting to break loose. Will be interesting this week for sure as I can see some budding out already. :(

We have not boiled since end of Feb. This cold pocket hanging over us really needs to move off. In the teens at nights and only low to mid 30's in the afternoon. By the time it decides to wake up...

Just storing it. Should be good with the cold temps. Just didn't want to keep the warm bulb on it that long as it would probably start to get stringy... :(

We have been froze up for quite a while now as well. Tried a couple of times turning on the vac pumps, got a little bit, but nothing to collect. Then night time drops down between 8-20 degrees and...

We had a very good run yesterday. 1000 gal sap from 250 taps. Ran hard overnight. I think the ground was still a little froze and with all the rain, it finally got down to the roots. Thank God...

My Sugar started out at 2% and was 1.7% last night. Running good overnight, so will see what last nights run brings. Just started using our new RO and what a difference. Pulled 300 gal water from...

We are also tapping today and tomorrow. Weather finally looking better the next 10 days. Last year we didn't let the lines flush out on the 1st run and ended up with some off tasting lite syrup. ...

We have decided to hold off until maybe the next real thaw as well. Got all of our lines up though this weekend as well as the RO ready. 1st year with an RO and can't wait.

We ended up with 145 gal syrup on 270 taps. That is .5 gal/tap? Wow, a record year for us as well. We started on Feb 4th and ended March 26, so about 48 days for us. That re-circ line on the...

We didn't get much of a run last night. Looks like we will be starting up at noon and chase the sweet out of the pans today. Been a record season for us. Plus I am tired of looking/buying more dry...

We gathered 500+ today. One of our 4 tanks was really nasty, so will keep that sap for the 2 month soak to clean the pans. Have another tank that is close to done, but the 2 that are on the CV...

Yep, so did we. Went from dark to a light medium. Shutting down for the night and will see what the weekend brings. Looks like warm weather for us all next week. Probably a season killer. Got...

We boiled in 220 last night too. Went out and found just about all of my taps were loose, probably from the long deep freeze. Did a lot of tonking to tighten them up. Got another 250 overnight. ...

Got 250 gal, mostly overnight. Boiled that in tonight. Hoping for a good run the next couple of days. Seems the trees were just starting to run good tonight, but think we will get a hard enough...

Holy Batman.... How on earth did you find this guy? I have been scouring Craigslist for a while now looking for something nearby. Great find man.

We did 1400 gal this last run. Into the dark side, but still very tasty. I have lots of customers wanting for the very dark stuff. Don't slow down bassman. Once you find the customers that love...
