Thought I would throw an update in from the SW corner of NB.
We just came back from a week long Disney Cruise....we had not contact with the outside world, which was weird but nice at the same time. I guess the temps here were frigid all week, only one day of dripping according to the neighbours. Cumulative total of one full barrel from the taps I can see quickly but I still have 2 more barrels in the woods so fingers crossed for another 1/2 barrel.
2014 - 6 buckets, 4 coffee cans and a propane burner - almost 40L of sap and 1.6L of syrup
2015 - 103 taps on gravity. Homemade oil tank arch and a Smoky Lake 2' X 5' hybrid. - 2.66 gallons of syrup
2016 - 101 taps, 550 gallons of sap, ~10 gallons of syrup all dark.
2017 - 138 taps, 225 gallons of sap, 5.55 gallons of dark syrup, still procrastinating on the vac.
2018 - ~150 taps, I lost track of the sap it was incredible!, over 20 gal of syrup, all dark.
