Since the last post we have been busier than a shovel in a blizzard. As of Friday, the sap total is about 5,000 gallons. All taps were in by February 14th. Sap began to run on the 1st of March, right on schedule. Today we are digging out from a historic snowfall, totals in the area are from 20 to 30″! Since Saturday the temperatures have been dropping below freezing down to near zero tonight. Well, time to catch up in the shop.
Also, back to the new “mini” evaporator. here is a picture of the unit we’re building. I will post more detailed pics in the “Imparting Knowledge” page in this website once I figure out how to upload the photos. Thanks for checking in.
