yeah ive removed taps from a few largely swollen reds but im still tricking along ( making a few last gals of dark syrup for making beer) the guy places him order every year and wants the darkest stuff i can make , but im sure the buddie end is right around my next corner . my bro in law pulled his taps in blandford yesterday, saying his trees had slowed and didn`t want to drag along anymore . it has been a great season syrup totals wise , but holy cow it took lots of gals of sap to get there...... hopefully next season yields a large amount of sap again with higher ( my normal ) sugar content lol good luck to those of you still going or still waiting
