Latest report from friend hes done about 3800 gallons. 700 to boil down not sur if that is part of 3800. Hoping for run today. Looks to be end of it.
Overall sugar content down making for crappy year.
He still need to reheat, caramelize, some blending like and dark and bottle.
He averages 60...
Well my friend had 50 gallons made last weeknd and a boil to go He does not seem impressed with this season. Actually he sounds really bummed this year.
I asked how many gallons sap per gallon best hes had is 38 ,worst is 78. So I had it wrong before.
A friend of mine down the road taps just few trees and makes himself half gallon so it can be done on a small scale.
If I remember right a different person told me 30 gallons sap to a gallon syrup, but then I suppose that could all change as posted above.
The weather patterns I suppose.
Talked to my friend he has 50 gallons made should get more sap coming week. KInda sounds like below average year. As years vary does not sound the best this year.
Friend of mine does syrup here in WI. He was getting sap prolly get another run. Prolly to late down south.
He tells me it needs to go below freezing at night the sap goes back down then warmer in the day starts flowing again.
He runs about 500 taps with laterals and main line and tanks pump...
