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.
2024 - 57 Gallons - Short season, many and varied problems remedied in short order! - No buckets!
2023 - 38 Gallons - RO broke, Buckets didn't run, rebuilt vacuum pump mid-season, still made good syrup!
2022 - 52 Gallons - DIY RO, 50% less fuel, no late nights in the shack!
2021 - 48 Gallons - new pans, new arch, lots of new taps and tubing
2020 - 32 Gallons
2019 - 27 Gallons
