amount of syrup per tap.

I know in my case I listened to people on here and figured I would have enough taps at 40 to supply my needs. Ended up with 150 at the end in order to get enough sap to make any amount of syrup. So it's hard to say how much a tap. 20 gallons was my total production but most of that was made in the last week of the sap run.

Last year was our fist year too, we made 20 gallons, on 112 7/16 wooden taps.

so that is .178 gal but we had major losses, our drawoff valve fell out and we lost almost a whole pan of sweet on the ground so not an exact count, this year we will try not to loose so much, lol. And we are going up to at least 500 taps.

I got .3 gals per tap last season with 77 buckets and 462 taps on vacuum. Most of the taps on vacuum were on red maples and alot of them were culls. It was my best year ever and could have been better. I noticed that the woods with old taps and tubing, about 250 taps stopped running about 1.5 weeks sooner than the new sections did. Reaming tap holes didn't help. This year all of the drops are going to be replaced in the old section before I add any new taps. The way that the syrup has been selling I need to make alot more! I would like to get up to the 1/2 gallon per tap number and feel that it is possible even with the red maples as my main crop tree.

I have averaged around .3 gal/tap in the past with buckets and gravity pipeline. Last week I worked up north in a high elevation, north facing sugarbush and the guy averaged .5 gal/tap on high vac last yr.

Last year made .40 per tap. 20 taps on 7/16 with tubes and 5 gal buckets at base of trees.
