Pulling my taps out this evening......this will be another short season like 2012 when I had wood frogs hopping around the wood shed in early March. Good luck to all.

Nice run of sap the last 2 days , had one tree with 3 taps into a 20 l pail over flowing today. It's going to be hard to empty enough whiskey bottles over the next week to hold the all the syrup but hey I'll try.

2015 50 taps 20 l of syurp
2016 150 taps, 160 l of syurp made
2017 plan is 150 taps , and will see what happens
2018 200 tap , 25 on my first 3/16 gravity system, 250 of syrup
2019 250 taps , all on 3/16 with 12 volt diagram pump ( 300 l of syrup)
2020 same 250 taps , time to make a small ro unit

If you guys ever see deep fryer basket like they use to make French fries grab it very convenient for hanging in your pans to let cups and pre filters to steam clean and pre heat

Hey Mark. It's looking like in a week you'll be back to below freezing nights. Any chance your maples won't have budded out by then? Maybe you should keep the taps in for another week, and maybe rinse out the buckets. What do you think?Originally Posted by MarkReynolds

What a change, from just over 500 l of sap in 2 days down to 40 l today. Maybe this is part of the fun? wondering what will tomorrow bring. The weather is calling for some frezzing temps Thursday and Friday night so hear hoping for a busy weekend of boiling sap.
