Ctjim,
A more accurate amount is probably 3.75 gallons. That includes the 1+ gallon I did on Saturday That was an adventure to say the least. I read how much other folks were getting and I was surprised on how much the trees I tapped were putting out. I tapped 8 very large Sugar Maples in a park across the street from my house. Almost all of them are perfect in form. They put out a lot of sap.

I tapped the trees on valentines day and the two weeks after that the flow was heavy. I didn't keep real accurate records but I was filled a 55 gal barrel, 60qt and a smaller cooler several times.

I gave sap away because I couldn't keep up. For my second season, I cant complain.
