    Hey all, I'm resurrecting this old thread for another year? Has anyone in the area started tapping? I just tapped 20 trees in the miners bay area.

    No not yet. I hope I do not regret it. I did dig out the evaporator and am making some modifications to the arch.


    2013 55 taps, a homemade 2 x 5 oil tank evaporator and 2 x 4 flat pan
    2014 56 taps new sap pump and 45 gallon sap gravity feed copper coil pre-heater rig
    2015 60 taps just tweaking things
    2016 shooting for the same but will see what happens

    Hey there Electrorecycler are those taps you put in running? I worried I am missing a run. I will be putting my taps in over the next couple of weekends if the forecast looks good.

    Put a test tap in today. It is running. Will be headed back up next weekend to tap. Located just east of Vankoughnet.

    2014 8 taps = 4 litres syrup
    2015 31 taps = 13 litres syrup
    2016 53 taps = 36 litres syrup
    2017 55 taps = 27 litres syrup

    They sure are! 19 taps produced about 20 gallons of sap yesterday. That's using a gravity system. I expect a good flow again today. So far I've collected about 75 gallons.

    Alright finally heading up this weekend to tap as I am going to be away for March break. The long range is looking good right now. I hope I didn't miss too much of the season with these early runs. Might have to push my tap count up to 75 to maximize the rest of the season. I see some long Boils in my future.
