I am hoping what I collected since last Sunday hasn't turned on me...going to head down to my property around noon tomorrow. I have five 3/16 lines running to two 275 gallon storage totes, and when I head home late Saturday or Sunday I will pull them from the totes and let them run on the ground, rinse the totes to keep out the bugs, but leave the taps in hoping for one more run before the trees bud. Before I started doing this I thought a week of 60's in February was the greatest thing ever!
2014 - 8 taps, turkey fryer, 130 gallons sap, just under 2.5 gallons syrup.
2015 - 50 taps and counting.
2016 - 60 taps on 3/16 and a Bill Mason evaporator on order.
2017 - 115 taps on 3/16, homemade r/o.
2018 - 150 taps on 3/16, r/o a big help, but lots of leaks killing yield.
2019 - sticking with 150 taps or maybe less, focusing on good vacuum and less waste to increase yield. Doubling up my r/o, and made a vacuum filter that looks promising.
