I had a good day on Saturday, boiling up 130 gallons. I'm still impressed with the amount of sap i can boil off with my set up after my experiences last year. I started the hobby last year with a 2x2 batch pan.
Hoping for a good sap collection week.
2012 50 taps on a homemade 2x4 arch w/ WSE pans
2011 1st year -24 taps on a 2x2 homemade flat pan
not sutch a good time over here , my partner decided to use giant eagle gas for the vac pump yesterday. needless to say we got a whopping 350 gal this run cause that gas is garbge. well drained the gas this afternoon and got things going so hope to have 4-500 to boil tomorrow.

season ending?
I'm just south of you in burton I pulled the plug on my tubing today syrup down to "B" I'm think I have an issue with tubing since it's all gravity will see what happens with buckets only a very disappointing season to say the least
Still plenty of time for the trees to recharge. Forecast is showing some good temps after this warm spell.
