sugar content

[Dill]

I got sick of it and tested the sugar today. 1.75 out of roadside trees, I guess some water got in the tanks. Still no draw off.

I've been testing at 1.6%. I have all woods trees. 75/25 split of sugar/reds. I think you're in the same boat as me. Last year I started at 1.8%...I'm hoping this year isn't going to be worse than last.

The batch was 100% sugars from Lee, that usually test in the 2.75 range.
I think I'm going to carry the hydro with me as I collect this weekend, I don't want diluted sap. Its pretty warm out this morning, I wonder how its going to run, 38degs on the way in. But rainy, had to climb up on the roof to close the stack cover.

I haven't had that great of sugar content either. 1.9 was my best so far. All sugars. Last year was the same thing. Made 15 gallons so far

I thought I was getting a whopping 4%, but then I realized I was using a Fahrenheit measurement in a Celsius conversion formula....

2.8% in the tank right now. All sugars as far as I can tell.

I did the same last year. Hey it made me feel better.
I don't keep records like yours, so I could just sit back and think man I'm boiling wicked sweet sap. Last night knowing how low it was, made the time crawl even slower.

this makes me feel a lil better knowing its not just me with low sugar. Having the RO definately is helping, otherwise i would have to burn way to long to get a gallon.

1.3% last night...ughh. I know they're mostly woods trees, but a little bit higher would be nice.

Sowly creeping up a tenth every day. Started at 1.8 and Saturday 1.9 sunday was 2.0 no run today. Hopefully I get back up to 3 here soon. Either way I will take what I can get.
