Season Totals

[Ridge777]

I know not everyone is done yet, but I think most of us small guys are as my tree's quit and budded this past weekend. I was just wondering how everyone made out. I collected 502 gallons of sap from 220 taps and made 15 gallons of syrup. If I did my math right that's .44 sap per tap and 33.47 sap to syrup ratio. Not a great year for sap, but the sugar was okay. Overall my totals ended up okay as I only ended up with 3 decent runs for the season. One thing I have learned is you certainly cannot control it when your taps are on gravity. Had fun for sure and will look to improve and grow for next year.

As a person said on another forum, we had half of a poor season. We ended up with around 16 gallons, which is less than half of what we made last year, but we had a lot of fun and sold enough syrup to keep the shack going next year, so we're happy.

We pulled are taps Sunday 4/12 and finished everything up last night for a total of 23 gallons. Time to start getting ready for next year!

40 taps or so this season, ended up with a hair over 6 gallons. I keep eying those temps in the 20s later this week and might try to make some cooking grade with sap from my sugar maples if they will still run.

48 taps this year and only made 3 1/2 gallons. I tapped about 25 too early and then only had 3 or 4 days of decent runs. Already trying to figure out how to improve next year. Have another 30 possible taps for next year and I think I'm going to build one of those small ro's.

400 taps out two hundred something on gravity feed pipeline and rest on buckets. Tapped out the 19th of Feb. Pulled the plug last Friday afternoon. 25 gallons for this year fifteen short from last. It is what it is. Had a good time, family had a good time along with friends that came by. Mother Nature and weather is a guessing game and that is what keeps us going. Looking ahead for next year now.

205 Taps and 21 gallons of syrup in the bottles so far. The temp is dropping and it is snowing here right now. I might get some sap out of my sugar maples the next couple days, we'll see if its any good though. The buds still look tight so here's hoping.... Either way I enjoyed myself and learned a lot about how I can improve the efficiency and overall production of my operation.
