Good luck with that knee. I know that I would be out for a season with a surgery like that as I collect it all in 5 gallon buckets and it’s a haul. We boiled on Saturday and had about 120 gallons. We ended up with 2 1/2 gallons of a nice amber syrup. Up to now only got about 70 gallons for this weekend still a little more then a regular boil last year. I have about 45 taps in and I’m tempted to do a few more but they are getting further and further from where I boil. Good luck!!!
