Last night was it for us! Boiled about 150 gallons of sap. Sap total for the year is around
3500 gallons. We will go over 60 gallons of syrup, but won't know for sure until
we boil what's in the evaporator. Kind of a mediocre year, as I always have a goal of 75 gallons.
Syrup sales have been brisk to say the least; probably sell out by July for sure.

Got the last of my syrup filtered/bottled today. Total of 63 1/2 gallons for the season. 3500 gallons of sap on about 390 taps.
The evaporator is soaking in vinegar until next week. Mostly cleaned up at the sugarshack, and have the tubing at the house
flushed. Tomorrow it's bucket washing time and hopefully flush more tubing. Got a couple ideas for next year, we will see if I
follow through. Syrup sales have been excellent, as we only have 17 gallons yet to sell.
