Went into the woods about 4:00 am to starting boiling down what we collected yesterday. The temperate had dropped and was already freezing everything. And it continued to drop to 12 degrees around 8:00 am. Tonight it could reach 0. As hard as it was collecting yesterday, it would have been a waste for all that sap to freeze in the buckets.
By 9:30 am we had a batch of syrup finished. Got that bottled. And kept working on getting the sap boiled through. We actually bottled two more times during the day. Stayed until 9:00 pm to empty the large 250 gallon storage tank.
Today’s Count
38 quarts, 1 pint of syrup bottled.
