Made about 13-15 gallons.

Those are impressive numbers 5050. I'm betting you've suddenly got a lot of friends dropping by hoping to score a bottle.

Yeah I'm still cleaning stuff,coffee urn and there was 20 oz in it from the filters draining,that and I have 9 full 8oz cases full and I didn't keep track of what I sell,Watch what you post the government will want to collect something from us!!! I caught the first good run 1/30 or so when it hit 60 degrees and most after that.Found out I need a bigger barrel on my 9 tree run overflowed many times.Good luck to you since it sounds your in the thick of things get-it!!!

Does the season ever really end? Just switch focus to thinning the woods, elevating low spots, finding new trees or runs and getting firewood ready.

Your right it doesn't Im splitting wood now and eating GREAT breakfasts,salads and so on with syrup.I mix balsamic vinegar and syrup on my salad everyday and that's work to eat and don't forget about how hard it is to eat ice cream with syrup on it!!!
