Red Roof Maples 2016

[Russell Lampron]

Boiled 800 gallons this afternoon and made 8 gallons. Add that to yesterday's 5 gallons from 450 and it took almost 100 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup.

I did an oops yesterday and forgot to run 250 gallons through the RO and boil it. Did that today and made 4 more gallons to bring the ratio to 74 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup. Still not good but better than 100 to 1.

I thought I was the only one boiling for ever. I am in the fight of my life to keep the 22 acres hear in Deerfield. 750 taps on 19" no ro = boiling for ever.
Made a lot of syrup. Money for the land before a good flue pan and ro. The only thing working for me is the blower.
