    Default 2025 central Indiana

    Put in 8 taps yesterday and got over 6 gallons of sap. Pretty happy with that.
    2014 - 8 taps, turkey fryer, 130 gallons sap, just under 2.5 gallons syrup.
    2015 - 50 taps and counting.
    2016 - 60 taps on 3/16 and a Bill Mason evaporator on order.
    2017 - 115 taps on 3/16, homemade r/o.
    2018 - 150 taps on 3/16, r/o a big help, but lots of leaks killing yield.
    2019 - sticking with 150 taps or maybe less, focusing on good vacuum and less waste to increase yield. Doubling up my r/o, and made a vacuum filter that looks promising.

    I tapped Wednesday afternoon (late), nothing yesterday, some sap today. 10 trees (6 sugar, 4 reds). I think they are still thawing out.

    I put out 11 taps last Saturday (1-25-25). Only have about 10 gallons of sap so far. I think my trees/ground are still thawing out too. Going to boil down what I have so far. It's been 7 years since I last made syrup, excited to get back out and make some.
