I have had about 60 taps out for the last few days, and have a little over 100 gallons of sap to show for it. First boil will be tomorrow.
Dutton? We're practically neighbours!
I got 10 gallons on 14 taps today. Two trees are still bone dry. One massive tree with four taps accounts for half of it.
Didn't get any syrup but my pan is sweet! Boiling again Tuesday and hopefully I'll have a good run tomorrow. And then I should get some syrup off it. Luckly for me I'm on afternoons this week and ppl are working so I'll be keeping the syrup this week
