    had a decent few days of running , I boiled on Saturday we got about 2.5 gallons (12 litres )

    I still have about 60 gallons of sap but don't know if I can get back there this week, if not guess I'll be dumping

    I am almost caught up now.Have no idea if it's over or not.Trees ran a bit today and then stopped. I had a couple of trees that actully over flowed for a change.
    maybe 50 taps for 2011
    Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
    I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
    Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.

    Crazy run... 450 litres of sap today, overflowing buckets, clear sap, like a fresh start!

    Boil this afternoon, make 3 more gallons, freezing at 8H00, still heard "ting, ting" outside when i close shack. Looks like another run tomorrow..

    CBOYER, how do you like a 14 x 16 cabane for the size of your evaporator? Do you suggest this size or would a little smaller be okay as well?
