    50-65 litres an hour, depending on how hard you pushed it.

    Sounds like everyone is off to a good start. I don't have any taps in yet ... but sounds like I better get at it!!! Hope everyone has a great year with lots of syrup made.

    -17 with the wind. doesn't feel much like spring but we're almost all tapped. The old system had a chance flush this past week so the next thaw we get, we'll be collecting.

    Just finished up our first boil. We had a surprise run over night Wednesday and most of Thursday. Good sugar content too, it was just under 2 which is higher than our norm. This was the first run with the new DG ro and evap; both worked flawlessly.

    How's she goin'? Set some taps a week ago and only got enough sap to cover the bottoms of the bottles. Hopefully this cold weather will break and the sap will run soon.

    After tomorrow's expected run, I should be above last years total. I'm hoping for another week or so. It's been a strange season, glad I tapped earlier than usual.

    Hopefully this weather breaks soon. I have managed to get about 8 liters of syrup so far. The first run has been the biggest so far but that was a month ago.
