"The worst Maple Syrup I ever tasted, Was Wonderful"
I plan on tapping this weekend.
Approx 100 taps
Half reds half sugars
But mostly half crazy.........
homemade evap
good times with family and friends
Tapped 14 trees (51 buckets) in Edinboro, PA on Tuesday. It ran like CRAZY all that afternoon and night before the big freeze on Wed/Thurs. Friday hardly ran at all even though the weather was similar to Tuesday. Must be the effect of the 5-6 inches of snow we got this week and the 16º those two days. Will likely boil Saturday in my almost 50 year old Leader 2 X 4 evaporator.
50 buckets in the back yard
2 x 4 Leader Evaporator (used since 1973...love that English tin)
Make 5-7 gallons/year just for gifts
Best way to usher in Spring !
Boiled 109 gallons last weekend which made 2.25 gallons of beautiful medium amber syurp. Just started on this weekend's boil . Collected nearly 100 gallons this past week, kinda slow. I've been tapped in for 5 weeks. The early start may be slowing my sap yields . This will be our 5th weekend boil. I'm loving it . Boil on!!!
Just a hobby.
