MRFNY, what are you boiling on? How many taps?

I have a Leader 2X4, wood fired. This year we put in 89 taps. I'm thinking i need to tap one more to make an even 90!Quote:

That is cool. Love Galway.
I decided not to wait until tomorrow and boiled today. My taps had slowed by this morning and we emptied buckets and made the first batch. I'm just finishing on the stove as I write, but its looking nice and light. Had 40-45 gallons of sap at the start. So hoping for a gallon plus.
ON edit: Made a gallon and poured the rest in a jelly jar. A good start to the season!

Nice job! Ended up boiling 60 gallons tonight since a few of our better sugar maples ran overnight I believe. The pan is sugared after tonight's boil and the next time we boil we will be drawing off! Tasted a sample tonight and boy it was delicious.Quote:

Pretty sure we got a freeze last night at my location so really hoping they run good today! It's been quite boring and uneventful with the recent cold spell.
