We tapped on Saturday, 162 buckets hanging. Sunday we prepared a new ridge for 3/16” gravity pipeline, had to trim beech saplings out of the way, discovered there is a lot more snow in the woods than we thought, 16-18”, we will get the tubing hung during the week and then wait for the run! The pipeline is new for us as the area around the sugar shack is fairly flat, we are excited to give this gravity suction a try!
Good luck sugar makers.
