Tuesday was 1350 gal of my sap and 330 gal of other sap. Sweetened the pans and made about 15 gal of syrup. Wednesday, I hauled in something like 1300 gal myself and almost 700 gal from others. Made for a long night but made over 40 gal of syrup…made Amber for the first time in a couple years. Real good flavor this year.

During Wednesday afternoon’s pickup, I noticed the woods has some leaks on a couple of the lines…vac’s down to a lowly 22” in the woods (25” at releaser…thinking the releaser gauge is reading a bit high), but I won’t get to it until Saturday. Sap flow Thursday morning was nothing much, and based on the weather, I should have enough to boil tomorrow night.

Good freeze last night, so might run well today if it can get warm enough. Sun should help. Got 500’ish gallons in the tank this morning and 350’ish gallons at the sugarhouse. Will be boiling tonight.
