What are NH sugar makers up to

[Asa Matras]

Got our vacuum bush's tapped (1150). Got em mostly leak free last couple days, also gonna check em out tomorrow if things thaw a little. Gonna wait for some real sap weather to finish the gravity tubing and buckets. Just need to get the membrane put in the new cdl 600 on the sugarhouse end of things.

I'm tapped in. Turned the pump on yesterday. It was reading 25in but I'm guessing I still have lots of ice in the lines. So tomorrow's job will be walking and fixing leaks when it warms up. Trying to figure out where to run my next mainline. I have the start and end point but haven't figured out the middle.

Hey Alden, How many taps you up to?

Started the process today tapped about 500 . On snow shoes in my area of campton lots of snow in the woods . Shooting for 700 taps tomorrow .

I finished tapping today. I've got some repairs to do which I'll do tomorrow. It's amazing how fast some of the trees grow, I've got several that will take two taps now. It looks like the sap will start running here on Thursday so if I'm lucky I'll be boiling on Sunday. Good luck everybody!

My trigger finger is very itchy to tap this morning. Strongly considering going out later and start tapping, especially the steeper stuff before we get more snow this week. Pretty good walking right now and if Wednesday’s storm gives us a lot, it will be nice to be already tapped out.

I went out yesterday and packed down some trails, checked out my main line and laterals, the snow is Deep, Very Hard going especially in the deep stuff. Theres no crust really in the woods and even with snow shoes once in awhile you'll go over your knee deep. I'm going to cut a trail or 2 in the summer so maybe I can get up there on a sled. I'll keep plugging away at it, I've got a couple weeks anyway I'm certain.

I've got over 500 taps in and ready right now. Thinking about trying to add more and maybe get up to 600 before things start flowing.

I got my releaser set up today and made the repairs and added the taps that I wanted to. It was a beautiful sunny day to be in the woods. I was able to run the vacuum pump for a couple of hours and pulled in a little sap even though it never got above freezing.

Yesterday we got the vac bushes all set and leak free (at the moment). Ran better than we thought, still not enough to boil tho. Hoping for some good runs this weekend to reap the rewards of all this work!

Set 44 taps on Saturday. 30 on 3/16 tubing, 14 on buckets.
Both 3/16 tubing runs running right out of the gate. Both on gravity...........25" vacuum on one.......20" on the other. This 3/16 stuff really works !!
Buckets almost next to nothing; will hold off another week or so on remaining buckets. 3/16 tanks looked like about 50 gals. last night.
