    Tapped last week. First boil yesterday. Next couple days looks like we'll get a good run. We only have 70 taps out now but will put a few more in this week.

    We're planning on tapping this weekend.
    2020: Approximately 10 taps, a home made barrel evaporator, and total lack of preparedness yielded a few gallons of mediocre syrup
    2021: 17 taps, same home made barrel evaporator, slightly more prepared, 8.25 gallons of good stuff
    2022: Doubling tabs, home brew natural gas evaporator and O.G. barrel evaporator

    Collected 122 gallons off of 70 taps yesterday. Getting cold again. The next run in a week or so should be big.

    We're south of Fort Wayne. Boiled 200 gallons in 8 hours today. Ended up with 5.5 gallons of syrup.
