Tapped for the first time yesterday two of the ten bags had just a little bit. I've got ten taps with bags on homemade 1.5" pvc holders two turkey fryers and a giant stock pot. Would like to find some steam table pans but looks like that will be next year.9249

Hi, I started with ten last year also. Mid way it went to 14 then this year 50 and I just added 8 more yesterday. Quite addictive hobby. Good luck.

Yes,this begins with a couple of taps,then you add more,then you need a sugar shack,then you discover local dealers and others who are addicted,and you loose control and start buying sugaring goodies and living for the next season... so it begins.
