hows the sapping going for you dan?how many taps do you put out? noy sure how many my dad and i put out but its a lot.how many gallons do you normally make?

the weather made this year pretty tough. i only boiled two days - ended up with about 2 gallons of syrup. the trees have only run about 3 days all spring. its just been either too warm, or too cold. i've got about a dozen taps around my yard. i'm just boiling in open pots over a wood fire - might try to get a boiling pan for next year.
