2nd Boil In Chesterfield

[johnpma]

Ran hard here last night.....looks like another weekend boil

My taps began to wake up in West Granvillle last evening but not worth collecting. Hope to get a 3 day run though Friday's weather looks like a 3-dayer would be a stretch!

Collected 20 gallons last night, there is another 60 this AM and still running. Starting the fire soon and will be boiling all day. Made almost 10 gallons so far from 100 taps.

That is incredible Dave!!! What is producing more the vacuum or the 3/16" tubing?

Yeah, I didn't check the buckets when I got home from work yesterday, but I had a feeling yesterday and today would be a pretty decent run. 1.5 gallons in the bucket from one of my better producing trees this morning on the way out of the house to head to work. Wee!

collected another 90 gallons this morning.....it's running hard for sure.

I gathered a total of 140 gallons yesterday and boiled 12 hrs. Still running strong this morning.

I am getting good vacuum from the pumps - 20-26" top and bottom of lines. My gravity line is also running great, it has a 15' drop. I was going to build another pump unit to put on the gravity line but I am maxed out on boiling capacity so I don't want it to run better! A larger evaporator is on my shopping list for next year

Couple new videos of my pump stations in action, posted on my Facebook page.

Likewise, collected 20g from 15 taps last night, since last collection Monday night. Boiling after work this evening. :-)
