Best Imitation of Myself

Maple Report, Day Three

March 5, 2008 · 5 Comments

With Sara’s help boiling in the morning and an early start in the late afternoon, we sent another 15 gallons up in steam today. Sap collected to date: 36 gallons. By this weekend we’re gonna have a gallon of syrup. Roughly measured, it’s been taking about 2.4 hours to evaporate each gallon of sap. That doesn’t account for the number of burners we’ve got lit. I’ll figure that out later.

Pints are goin’ for $9 each. Who wants some?
