New woodlot and sugarwoods will have 3-4000 taps.
3x8 LaPierre raised flue already bought and waiting patiently in storage.
Looking forward to using 3/16" tubing.
Can't wait for 2019!!!
Sounds like everyone is off to a good start. I don't have any taps in yet ... but sounds like I better get at it!!! Hope everyone has a great year with lots of syrup made.
My Operation may not be big, but it's small.
managed to get 75 liters of sap and 2.2 liters of light syrup.
-17 with the wind. doesn't feel much like spring but we're almost all tapped. The old system had a chance flush this past week so the next thaw we get, we'll be collecting.

Just finished up our first boil. We had a surprise run over night Wednesday and most of Thursday. Good sugar content too, it was just under 2 which is higher than our norm. This was the first run with the new DG ro and evap; both worked flawlessly.

How's she goin'? Set some taps a week ago and only got enough sap to cover the bottoms of the bottles. Hopefully this cold weather will break and the sap will run soon.
My Operation may not be big, but it's small.
After tomorrow's expected run, I should be above last years total. I'm hoping for another week or so. It's been a strange season, glad I tapped earlier than usual.
