Hello All, This blog is to document my adventures back into making maple syrup. Its been 20 years since I made maple syrup. Finally bought a place with some land and young maple trees.

Ready and Waiting

I pickup my syrup pans from the welder last week. No leaks could be found anywhere.  Saturday and Sunday I spent time in the sugar house pluming the pans and the head tank. All the pans and tanks have been washed. They are all ready for the first boil. 

I looked at the upcoming weather and decided to tap this afternoon. I ended up with 73 taps and have not tapped the trees I plan on culling next year yet. I only planned on 50 taps for this year and I will be close to 90 when I'm done. I might have some long nights.
