Beautiful day for new beginnings.
The biggest Maple we’re tapping, 3 buckets all to itself.
Sap came right out, it was an exhilarating experience.
We’re doing a birch tree out of curiosity.
The next day.
Of course we had “plumbing” issues and had to prop a storage tank up to avoid leakage of the precious fluid.
We pulled ~50 gallons the first 24 hours. We’re scrambling to finish getting the evaporator ready; fortunately, the following days saw a lot less sap flow which will let us finish getting our last few ducks in a row.
