Wayne, I got just cold enough last week to give me another 2 1/2 gallons of syrup. That gave me 24 1/2 gallons for the year and that is my personal best. If you ever want to stop by to see my little setup, I would be happy to meet with you. Always love talking Maple.

Haven't been on here since the spring. It would be great to see your setup when you're back at it or could give a hand if needed when setting up. My schedule is 100% flexible. I'm outside today marking trees to tap.

Wayne, I'm retired so I usually have time for Maple talk. I did just get back from a trip to Montana today so I will be busy catching up with things around here for a week or so. I will be putting up some lines that I have to take down each year at the neighbor's property in the next few weeks. Stay in touch.

All tapped and boiling here. Wow! Never seen them run like the last few days. My earliest start and making lots of syrup. Sugar is low, only 1.2 but it is really early. My RB20 has saved the day. Love my RO.

I see everyone complaining about the weather but at my place it is great. I bottled up 13+ gallons today and that is over 1/2 of the crop I did all last season. This week the weather looks excellent, but we all know that can change. Sugar is low 54:1, but we are making great syrup! How is everyone else in Lackawanna County doing?

Anyone else having big time niter problems this year? I can't run much more than 100 gallons of sap this year, without having to shut down and soak my pan overnight in vinegar. It's a real pain in the butt.

Hi Z/MAN,
I am certainly noticing the high nitre content from my trees in the Hudson Valley of New York this year. Our winter 2022/2023 had relatively little snow with the most significant snow happening 2nd week of March, after I had my taps in.

Finally got all my taps in. Running today and looks like tomorrow and Friday. Next week might be a flood.
