Hello,
My name is Aaron..this is my second year of collecting sap and making maple syrup, I hail from Chassell, Michigan.
Last year I did about 24 taps, this year I have about 48. I usually dive full on into things so my first year I purchased some custom bottles and designed my labels and came up with a name for it. Short on time I found some amber colored bottles but this year I have clear so you can see the different colors of the syrup.
Here are a few of my bottles, ended up with just under 2 gallons of syrup last year.

So far this year I have one burn, but then the weather turned back to winter and we've been getting dumped with snow.
I'm currently using a friends small evaporator with the rest of his equipment, but just recently purchased my first stainless pan 2'x3'. I came along the forum when I was researching making a evaporator and was looking for small plans.
