The golden number is one litre per tap. I have only had that happen one year. So far this year I'm not even close. 9L finished for 46 taps. Boooo!!
Oh well, still better than nothin!

I went to Maple Bluff Farm in Huntsville last week and the owner said it was one of the best years ever, nice operation he has there with excellent products. He told me he has over 90,000 feet of tubing collecting the sap.
Mail some to me and i will let you know if they are any good. :)Quote:

And I should boil with the lid off correct.?
Keep it boiling as hard as you can. The faster you boil off the moisture the better
No lid
Thanks Jow,
