First Syurp
Here is the 1/2 cup Syrup I made from the 2.5% sap of the last week and a half.

If I did the math right for my 75 tapes I only missed out on .25 to .30 of a gallon of syrup.
I am glad I did not rush and try to get tapped. Accuweather long range forecast looks like another 3 weeks of winter before the real thaw Marsh 3rd.
I would have some old tap holes by then.
