2015 Tapping
Wow, the tapping categories still say 2014... hey the south is getting ready to tap here! It's 2015 already!
Honestly I was seriously thinking about it new year's weekend, but the spell of really low temps on the other side of it usually just means a lot of sap saks with holes in them from getting too brittle in the cold, and a lot of replacing bags. We'll be later than usual tapping this year, but I am eyeing next weekend as a strong possibility. Still tweaking some equipment in the sugarhouse - we're switching from moving sap around with the big 2" diameter Rollerflex hoses down to 1 1/2 Tigerflex as they were a lot easier to manage last year. Amazing how much piping has to get replaced to do that. So I suppose I've got more than enough to do before next weekend. Anyone else thinking about it?
