So as people may know from previous posts, this was my first season - I've been reading posts about how challenging this season was. I ran 30 taps for about 50 days - Most days things were slow and I was able to keep up with no issues. There were a handful of days where things really let loose, but for the most part was still manageable. I collected a total of 100 gallons sap and boiled it down to about 2.5 gallons syrup. My goal was 1 gallon so I am satisfied but it also would have been nice to produce more...
This might be a stupid question, but what is a "normal" expectation? (if there is such a thing) Also, I heard of people tapping in the fall. Has anyone tried that? Is it worth trying?
Thanks!
