Anything over 2 gal per tap per day is really good. Enjoy the process and the magic moment when it goes from clear to brown and when the bubbles start to crackle when they break! I ended up processing 40 gal. made about a gallon. It got really warm . May get one last run but our tress will be budding soon.

Id say you are between 1.5% and 1.8 on your sugar content if I were to guess. 60 here today. No flow needless to say. Got some days coming later next week below freezing but the trees are budding. If I can find some that aren't , I might try to get a late run in. Good First season for you! Congrats.
