Hawkins Sugar House
Sunapee, NH
2x6 Patrick Phaneuf, raised flu
3 Hp Atlantic Fluids Vacuum
500 taps
Installed 4 taps this past Saturday & have about 4 Gallons so far! Does anyone know if the sugar content in sap is lower this time of year than say the end of February?
So far so good...
I don't plan to tap and hang any more buckets than the five I placed last week but I have produced a pint and a half of light amber from last week's sap run of 12 gallons. The sap ran well today. Other than staying warm tonight the forecast is calling for highs around 40 and lows around 23 for the next five or more days (Milford). I don't plan to tap more trees until later in the season but my man made snow pile is sure shrinking fast!
