I collected 42 gallons today to go along with the 23 gallons I brought to a boil this morning, so I will have a 65 gallon boil tomorrow. That brings me to 68.8% expected sap and when that is finished, it will get me over 90 L of syrup. My sap sugar concentrations is still high.
Tonight is forecasted to drop to -4° and +10 tomorrow, so there should be sap flow tomorrow and another boil on Tuesday.
The forecast for next weekend is changing and warming up a tad overnight, so Tuesday’s boil could be the last, I will keep an eye on the forecast.
