Wow! Wish I had that problem. I'm still at 30-40 gallons on 150 taps. I added around 20 more last night, they were running good. Supposed to get 8-12" of snow tonight and tomorrow. Next week looks good, praying for a sap flood.
Hey that's good to know fishman that it's been running some this past week. Tapped on 3/24 27 taps mid Dickinson County. Gathered and boiled on 4/1 60 gallons, 4/5 24 gallons and so far made 1 1/2+ gallons syrup. Hope my buckets are nice and full this weekend when I get back.

Thanks, for my measly 27 taps it works. Would like to move up to a real evaporator with flues someday there are 600+ tappable trees but that would mean more time, wood, sugarhouse ...Originally Posted by PerryW
