We got the anticipated run. 26 overnight. 52 and sunny until late afternoon. Warmed quickly. And the trees dripped into the night. 130 gallons of nice clear sap at 2 Brix. When finished, we’ll be approaching 38 gallons. Some taps are dry while others on the same tree had a full bucket. Late in the season that’s expected. Started collecting at 2:45 PM. Done by 3:25 PM.
Into the woods by 7:30 AM to finish and bottle another milk can of syrup. Discovered the propane tank is empty when the burners on the finishing pan went out just after lighting. Not sure how we were able to finish bottling yesterday. We’ll get another tank of propane tomorrow then finish and bottle later in the week.
Tomorrow morning we cook.
