I have no idea how people that have a full time job and do 50 to 100 taps, keep up. I have 111 and I spend almost the entire day, every day doing something.
Now I only boiled once past supper and although I have bottled in the evening, most of my evenings are free. Your operations must be far more efficient than mine.
My credit to you all.
