Just checked another sugarmaker in Lyman (near littleton) who has been tapped for 10 days. He has 400 good-running field trees and he has only collected 320 gallons as of this morning. He was expecting a good run yesterday but there was very little sap flow. Spent the morning fixing up the last of my tubing repairs and will plan on tapping before the next warm-up.
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

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