freezing here now, I watched the temps slowly come down over the evening and let my vacuum pump run through the night. Looks like some good runs are possible over the weekend. i need to at least double the syrup i've made, don't bring the spring too fast!!! i'm betting between 200 and 350 gal of sap a day, i figured i needed around that much with a good 14 days of run( i don't count the days of with no run as part of the season, lol). i'm only in 7 days of run, and 5 boils!
2023 - 38 Gallons - RO broke, Buckets didn't run, rebuilt vacuum pump mid-season, still made good syrup!
2022 - 52 Gallons - DIY RO, 50% less fuel, no late nights in the shack!
2021 - 48 Gallons - new pans, new arch, lots of new taps and tubing
2020 - 32 Gallons
2019 - 27 Gallons
