The little time it ran yesterday, i got about 2000 gallons and today should be really good. The sap looks alot better now than the bermuda heat wave we had a few days ago. At 1 dumping location yesterday it ran a gallon a tap in 4 hours.

Randy,

Did you boil this new sap and if so how is the taste? How did it run through the press?

Boiled last night never boiled ropy syrup. Never will again pan has black burn spots all over the bottom, not worth it to me. Made 10 gal of mersh.
Collected 120 gal today on 400 taps, we are going to gather tomorrow finishboff at night call it a season. GMP is really putting the screws to us so going to cut our losses for the year and try to figure out for next year.

I know what you mean with green mountain power. Our house bill last month was $350. Greed.

If you don't like the bill, don't use the power!! Remember--Cash or candles!!!

If you would unplug your heart shaped vibrating bed and the disco lights your bill would go down.
