I'll be tapping 45 virgin sugar maples 24" in diameter and the other 60 I have been tapping for the past six years, hopefully they will have a high sugar content and be healthy. Can't wait to test the new evaporator and hopefully get more syrup from this years first boil than all of last year combined! Good luck to all, happy boiling!
2,000+ taps and growing
3'x12' Vortex, MAX flue, and steamaway
24'x48' timber frame sugarhouse
A good case of bronchitis and a blizzard put me behind this year! I put in 18 taps today, dug out the pad for the wood stove and started making preps to do my first boil this weekend.
The taps I put in are running like I haven't seen them run in a bit!
