As others have said, at anything less than a few thousand taps you're more of a hobby than a business. Set your goals on breaking even if you don't include your time over the long term. A 0.5 G/tap syrup is a respectable number on vacuum. Assuming you can hit that, you're talking about 200-300 gallons/year depending on how many actual taps you have. If you can do it al retail you'll make out OK but to pay off your initial investment will take a lot of time.
