Pulled the taps on the remaining trees on March 30 in the Thumb. Older taps were not producing at all. The few additional Sugar Maples gave us about 30 gallons of sap. Hydrometer read 2%, but only made about nine, 8 1/2 oz bottles. Oddly the syrup was slightly lighter than what we produced just three days ago. Season total is probably going to be around 4 1/2 gallons of syrup. An increase for us, but not where I wanted to be this season.

Already planning for next year. Thinking about adding tubing on gravity on some sugar maples located on a nice slope. Identified additional sugar and silver maples. Might boost my RO filter to filter faster.

Otherwise, it being a weird year weather wise, I'm happy and learned more.
