We collected 350 gallons of sap today.\u00a0 That gives us 1300 gallons so far for the season.\u00a0 We had two nights of freezing.\u00a0 Last night was down to 26.\u00a0 That helps.\u00a0 Although it still was too warm today.\u00a0 Up to about 57 or 58.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
We started the day by cleaning all the pans in the evaporator.\u00a0 Getting ready for part two of the season, if there will be a part two.\u00a0 The forecast still calls for change back to colder, normal, temperatures on Friday.\u00a0 We are hoping that will return us to better sap run days.<\/p>\n
Then about 1:00 PM set out collecting.\u00a0 Brought in one tank full of 200 gallons then went back out to finish collecting.\u00a0 Ended up with another 150 gallons for 350 gallons total today.\u00a0\u00a0 Started the evaporator: cooking again.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
About 8:30 PM a batch was ready to come off the evaporator.\u00a0 This batch was from the syrup we had in the evaporator.\u00a0 It was not from today’s collection.\u00a0 We had help yet at night and they wanted to finish and bottle tonight.\u00a0 So we did.\u00a0 By 10:30 PM we had another 21 quarts bottled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
