Nova Scotia 2017

What's everyone up to NS? We've been busy since early Jan. setting up new bush and equipment. We're aiming to get another 500 tabs on board this year. We purchased a new 2 x 8 DG and 400 GPH D&G RO late last spring. 2017 will be the first year with it.

We've had a perfect Jan. for working in the woods; little snow and sunny days. We have all the mainline up, laterals ran and tightened an have just started adding drops and manifolds last week.

Cheers for now. Looking forward to 2017 sap season

Best of luck in 2017! I thought I heard that the sledding was pretty good up there this year.

Is very good. We just received about 24" of snow in the last 48 hours.

LOL! yes lots of snow. I have about 3 feet on the ground at the camp.

managed to get 75 liters of sap and 2.2 liters of light syrup.

Finished boiling Friday evening, long drawn out season but ended up with more syrup than last year. I think the sugar content was quite a bit better. Started cleaning up yesterday, do some more today I guess.

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.

The forecast is looking promising for the end of the week, I put about 125 taps in today, about half of what I intend to do. I hope the forecast is correct and we get a run in the next few days.

-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.

I managed another boil on Friday, hoping for one more boil. currently I am at half of last years total
