Yep, interesting weather we've been having. Never got the deep freeze, hopefully the drop a week out is good enough. I'll be reducing taps this year after adding another to the family, but we all...

I know what you mean. We batch boil on the weekend (a few neighbors together) on the one evap we built. Last week we added a 7th pan and I still had 25 gal I couldn't get through, steady 4 pans...

I've really enjoyed hearing about your upgrades and experiences with them this season. You really stepped it up! I'm a few years off from many of them, but it's all great information shared. I'm just...

I just pulled mine this morning, should've pulled them yesterday as I got nothing overnight. Glad to hear you got 10 gallons, we'll clock in around 7-8 after boiling tomorrow. It'll be my first WFE...

Thanks for the knowledge drop maple flats, and the welcome Pdiamond! I didn't realize many tappers used leased land, i just assumed everyone was just naturally swimming in maples. was hoping to get...

Haha, I'm sure, especially for you folks staring at acres and acres. My 35-40 taps are pretty much my max, I walked my woods and marked everything already haha. Land is at a premium in my area. That...

Hi, been lurking and learning here for the past couple years. Small backyard operation going on year 3. A few other neighbors started joining in and tapping too, so we do a weekly boil together since...
