Glad we made the early tapping decision again this year. Caught a nice run over the last three days.......160, 195 + 404 gal. Not happy about the sugar content though, running avg. of 1.5%. I wonder if that's a result of our never ending 2023 rain. First boil was Friday, and after crunching the 355 to 8%, we barely drew off about 1 gal. after sweetening the pan. Longer boil yesterday, and drew off about 7 gal. Golden.
All four Shurflo's are chugging away. Seeing around 21" on the 3/16 tubing runs; and up to 25" on the mainline. Warm day yesterday, so I expect collection will be a lot lower today. Coming up on an extended cold snap this week; probably going to grind to a halt for a few days.
Overall, good start to the season. Hope everyone is off and running.
