    I got 4500 gallons this year; but in my case, I'm talking sap, not syrup.
    2012: Probably 750 gravity taps and 50 buckets.

    600 gal stainless milk tank.
    2 - 100 gallon stock tanks
    one 30 gal barrel
    50 buckets

    3' x 10' Waterloo Raised Flue wood fired evaporator w/ open pans.

    12" x 20" Filter Canner

    Sawmill next to sugarhouse solves my sugarwood problem

    Gather with GMC 3500 2wd Pickup w/ 425 gallon Plastic Tank.

    Been tapping here in Lyman NH since 1989 but I've been sugaring since 8 years old in 1968.

    Our forecast here calls for a low of 26 Thurs. night, 21 Fri. night, 29 Sat. night, and 30 Sun. night, so I'm waiting for that because I just started making Dark.
