Sap still coming in well with help from vacuum. Fired up pump yesterday at 2 and by 9 had a 100 gallons. Fired it up again this morning around 9:30 and brought in another 100 gallons by 1. More then triple per tap then my buckets. Looking like the end is in site though. Calling for a freeze tonight then nothing for a week. Hope for another run tomorrow and then probably time to pull the plug unless the forecast changes.
It's sure been a strange year! A year of extremes. Reasonably please with my results but I'm sure glad I tapped early when I did against my good judgement or it would have been a very disappointing year. Should end up with a little over 300L. I would venture to guess I would have ended up with less then 200L without vacuum.
I know it's been a disappointing year for some but here's hoping that it finishes strong for everyone !
