I wish I had enough to boil.. Got a little over 7 gallons from 15 of my 46 taps... Apparently I have some slow starters.

2018 55 taps 50L
2019 60 taps ~75L avg sugar 3.3%
2020 60 taps
Glad to hear I'm not the only one that is getting below average sap yeild. Here's to hoping things open up this weekend! Dutton ON.
3x10 oil fired evaporator
1300 vaccumm
350 buckets
I have had about 60 taps out for the last few days, and have a little over 100 gallons of sap to show for it. First boil will be tomorrow.
Dutton? We're practically neighbours!
I got 10 gallons on 14 taps today. Two trees are still bone dry. One massive tree with four taps accounts for half of it.
80 taps in--75 gallons sap collected; first sugaring-off tomorrow.
A buddy of mine cleared a path into the field to get a a patch of sugars so I'll be putting in an addition 22 taps on top of my 46image.jpg
