Surprisingly enough, we got sap today-8 gallons. It was very mild last night, just around freezing. In total, I have about 60 gallons of sap...enough for about 1.5 gallons of syrup. Total sap for the year is around 120 gallons. Not bad considering about 10 of the taps are pretty quiet trees.
The sap this week was also the sweetest it has been all year. It really was a great week for sap. Not sure when I'll boil, but probably Saturday evening. Definitely won't get through the 60 gallons. There isn't enough propane or time in the day.

Making maple syrup for fun in Grantham, New Hampshire.
Welcome
Welcome to this blog about making maple syrup. Up here in New England, we are surrounded by sugar maples, but only a small percentage are tapped each year. Read here about my second season of backyard sugaring. I'm hoping to make maple syrup as a hobby and provide enough for ourselves and maybe some gifts. Please leave your comments!
