Fellow Yoopers, when did you tap or when do you plan to tap? If you tapped already how many gallons of sap per tap have you collected so far?

Tapped Sunday morning, and as of today have collected 180 gallons from 86 taps, 75 are on 3/16 line. Live in Elo in Houghton county.
We will be tapping early this next week . Looks like the run should start next Wed. or Thurs. Let's just hope the sugar content is a little higher than last year.

Wood Loader we do not have the stuff to check sugar content. We slowly add to are little set up every year, my wife and I just do it for are personal use.
She stayed home to boil today, We hope to do at least the same as last year, made 17 1/2 gallons and just opened the last quart, we drink it in are chaga tea. Added another run of 3/16 with 30 taps, so we have 86 out this year, 36 more then last year. Should have it all done tomorrow, see how many gallons out of the 220 gallons we get.
Wow that is a lot of sap for not many taps.
