    20 gallons sap on 10 taps since 3/6, 10 the last 48 hours
    If I can pull off this here small scale RO panel, I'l double the taps
    seem to have peaked @ 20 taps: bags on hangers
    Homemade RO
    2 or 3 gallons syrup per annum, formerly with wood fire arch and batch pans
    then Dark Star 2.0 burner and 8 gal Megapot Brew Kettle with ball valve
    transitioning now to 30x17x9 flat pan

    rarely have so few toiled so much for so little

    Sap Aussie Gidget,
    and my one and only Jill

    Collected 90 gallons of sap last weekend on 30 taps. New RO bucket set up worked perfectly. Ended up with just under 3 gallons of beautiful amber syrup.

    Picked up another 80 gallons this afternoon. Going through the RO now. Will start boiling at 6 tomorrow morning. Running good today.

    Checked taps after rain day and left so little on the trees to hold the bags in the wind. Ice everywhere.
    Leaked about 3 gallons sap troubleshooting no-flow on the new RO housing. Wrong feed elbow order. Who knew the pink one had to go last instead of first? Jill, of course.

    Anybody know how they're running this week in Langlade county? Have heard good reports elsewhere.

    Gathered 8 gallons this am on 20 taps from yesterday, which was sunny and the snow was walkable, but the bags had a fair amount of ice. RO unit reduction of sap really helping out with storage between boils

    Got up to the woods around 4:30 today. Picked up a little over 100 gallons. Running through the RO now. Probably will wait to start cooking until it warms up a little tomorrow morning. Sap was down to 2.8%.
    Looking forward to some calm during the storm.
