Hi, new hobby sugar bush here. Tapped 35 trees in our first season. Made about 10 qts of syrup and a batch of thick butter(stirred to long). We made a barrel evaporator and had some fun in our sugar shanty. Starting to cut the wood for a 12x16 sugar shack for next year. Had a lot of fun with my family and friends. Plan for 60 to 70 taps next year. Max will be 80 taps as we bought a CDL classic 2x4 evaporator.
I have enjoyed the info we picked up from this site.
Cheers
Bart
