Finally found some time to get on the trader even if its 1230. The season is looking pretty good so far. I made just over 36 gallons so far off 183 taps. The next week looks decent for sap flow too. By the weekend I will probably have extra sap coming in from my friend. He tapped 375 great sugar maples with buckets and is boiling on a stock 2X6. As of tonight all his tanks were full so he's going to need some help boiling. I'm already looking for land to tap next year where I can set up a few hundred taps on vac and I'm looking into building an RO. Boiling until almost midnight after school most nights gets to you
