Sorry if this is insensitive, I know some of you guys out east aren't having a great year. But I just can't believe how much sap this guy has hauled this year. I just had to make a post about it. He's got an even 100 taps up on the top of his hill. Lots of elevation drop and brand new 3/16 tubing. A mix of cdl and h2o I believe. 5/16 drops with new disposable cdl clear spouts. And he's collected......... (drumroll please)............
4175 gallons of sap. So far. We're still collecting until the middle of the day tomorrow, so he'll have another hundred gallons I'd guess. I think it's safe to call it 42.5gpt. If I hadn't seen every load with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. I told him to expect 20 gallons per tap, but he's more than doubled that. Anyway, I know 3/16 has its limitations, and it's unlikely that he'll ever see that GPT number again, but holy smokes, what a haul! I hope someday I'll see numbers like that from my woods!!!
