Another big sap run. Today we collected 450 gallons of sap. All the storage tanks are full again. Over the past three days we collected over 1000 gallons of sap. I noted a few days earlier on this web log that we usually get a few days of big runs and it held true this year. With this run we should go over our 60 gallon goal for finished syrup. We have about 50 gallons now, with a lot of sap in the evaporator and in the storage tanks. 50 gallons was our total of finished syrup for last season, so we will exceed that. 12 quarts were bottled today.

We have had to filter our syrup twice. Not sure why, but with only one pass through the pressure filter the syrup is not sparkling clear. Its a bit more work to filter twice, but the results are worth it.

It looks like we will loose our freezing nights this week which will bring a halt to the season.
