    We just got a large stainless steel sap collecting tank. It keeps the sap nice and cool. Too cold sometimes, as when I am ready to boil, it’s icy. So what I did is hang a heat lamp in there the night before, so when I start the RO, it’s not icy.
    2017 - 20ish taps on buckets, boiling outside in two baking pans
    2018 - 70+ taps, 14-buckets, 50+ on tubing, homemade arch from oil tank in my barn, 17 gal syrup
    2019 - same set up, 20 gal syrup
    2020 - less taps, short season, but RO kit was fantastic! 6 gal syrup and a maple cat!
    2021/22/23 - expanded into the neighbors yards! 50 taps on buckets and 40 taps on tubing

    Can I say here how much the RO bucket kit I got saved hours of boiling time?? Now I wouldn’t be doing this - making syrup - if I didn’t enjoy the process, but it makes a big difference between having to boil until 1 am versus being done before dinner!!
    I am a huge RO fan! If you are on the fence, go get one! Do it now so you are set for next year!
