410 gallons of sap today. Wow! This last week has been quite a run. But there are signs the end of the season is coming. We are seeing more and more dry taps on the trees. And the sap is not as sweet. We are at 2.0 Brix now. By the Rule of 86, that implies a ratio of 43:1, 43 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. Earlier in the season it we had 3.0 Brix for ratio of 29:1. And people are getting tired too. Its been long days in the woods cooking the sap.

We have 62 gallons bottled now. With today’s sap we will end up with over 70 gallons of finished syrup.
