    Default Getting ready in Franklin County

    I think it's close after Mother Nature hits us with the 65 deg. days coming up. Thinking about the 4th (Jan).
    1st year tapped 5 trees, boiled in pans on rock fire - really smokey taste
    2021 - 20 taps - 4 Gal on barrel stove and pans
    2022 - 9.1 Gal - 41 taps this year. 14 + 7 on 3/16" gravity vacuum. 20 in buckets/bags. DIY RO system - 2/3 water gone - amazing.
    2023 - 59 taps: 25 on 3/16" vacuum line/pump, 30 on 3/16" natural vacuum, 4 on bags. New 2x3 Badgerland pan anxious to try.

    I am in Lawrence Co, my 2nd year, Tapped on Jan 9th last year, i had 37 on two 3/16 lines and boiled on a block arch and steam pans
    This year I built a shack and an arch and bought a 5' divided pan and going to add 20 or so more taps
    Looking forward to getting started, maybe after this warm spell.
    Good luck with your season
