Upgraded to a 2x6 this year, really enjoy sugaring have always done it for fun. Thought I might make a little more this year to sell seeing that I could boil down more quicker. But this was the worst year for me as far as sap quantity and the sugar pretty much stayed at 2% or less. Looking to tap more trees next year would like to have 200. Just love making the liquid gold.
Happy sugaring
