    Actually it froze. Got everything unthawed today, had 170 gallons of sap at 2%. Well at least my pans are sweet now! Maybe make something on the next run?

    Finished tapping this weekend. We ended up with a total of 1455. Big jump from the 505 we did last year! Hopefully, we won't be in over our heads. Had a little bit of a run, approximately 225 gallons. Just enough to fill the pan and get things sweet.
