Boiled permeate tonight and pushed through. Got another 6 gallons for my efforts. We are up to 95 gallons, which is the best year yet, and are quite happy. If the trees hold off, we will be back at it this weekend. Buds on the red maples are very swollen. Buds on the sugar maples still look ok. Will pull my red maple taps this week and will only have sugar maples when I turn the vacuum pump back on.
