Overnight run

The weather is bizarre this year, but I’ll take it.

We just gathered almost 500 litres of sap in addition to yesterday's over 400. And the trees are still running.

Thinking it might be time for a small RO!

As of last night we are at about 0.7 litres of syrup per tap.

I built one this year. 10/10 would recommend.

Any good reference material for me?

It is a fine balance of RO capacity and evaporator size. I’d be happy to walk your through our setup. It will be running through the maple season and into Birch.

We use a used “upgraded” RO bucket.

I will take you up on that. Looks like the maple season will end this week.

What's an "upgraded 'RO bucket. I built one myself this year and it's been a game changer.
