So when's everyone tapping? Im near the Wilkes Barre area and temps this next week are tempting. But never tapped this early. Whatcha all doing?
Just got tapped in this weekend. 61 taps on buckets. Just have to finish up the sugar shack now. Weather looks great here thu- Sunday.
Doing some more reading on diy coolers and a few people have said you can put a bigger resistor in the wire with the temp probe to make it cool to 45 or so. I think we are starting on the scack this...
well the fridge/freezer wasn`t in good condition, so we passed on it. we are thinking of making a small one now somewhere around 4x8x4 feet, with 2 inch insulation. should fit about 160 gallons. but...
We had 30 taps last year and I think out best week was 80 gallons. So definitely not 7 gallons a tap, also all are just on buckets.
We are pretty small only about 40. It should be big enough to hold about 130 gallons, easy enough for a week.
I'm heading to take a look at that walk in fridge this weekend, it is approx. 4 by 4 by 6 ft. Should be enough room for a lot of buckets. Let u guys know how it goes.

Hey guys, we are expanding our operations for next year, building a small sugar House and getting some more taps, but how does everyone keep their sap cool? We keep ours in snow piles but that...
Doing our last boil of the year here, we have 33 taps on buckets and got a season total of about 130 gallons, boiled to about 2.25 gallons of dark syrup. Bigs plans for next year in the making.
We just did our first boil, we have 31 taps and collected 41 gallons in the last week, ended up with 2.5 quarts. We moved some of our taps that weren’t doing so well so hopefully this will be a good...
Just got everything ready here in drums. 30 Taps going in on Saturday. Looks like it’s starting to warm up here next week looks pretty good, how’s everyone else doing?
Tapped in around February 5th and I think I'm pulling them this weekend. We've got 30 taps, collected about 90 gallons to make about 1 1/3 gallons of finish. Not a great season here this year with...
