    Dunno how those collecting barrels are gonna thaw out. Today I will re-plumb my 5/16 lines which have way too many flat spots and point them straighter down the slope.

    I pushed tapping back until last Sunday due to cold temps the week before. It looks like maybe I should have waited another week.

    I'm planning to tap this weekend. It's felt like a long wait, but in the Berkshires it's just been too cold for buckets until now.

    I thought I'd posted here...tapped the 3/16 lines last weekend and pulled and boiled 65 gallons...sweetening is in progress. Now two days of freeze and IU've got ice in my barrels and I'm wondering if I did the right thing leaving any sap in them vs the holding tank. Oh well, you just never know
