    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.

    Question for you syrup guru's. My son collected 5 gallons of sap and we just started boiling the first half. Once it starts boiling do I reduce heat and low boil or keep it at a rolling boil.? Never done this before and when I came home from work on monday my son had tapped our tree and rigged up a pretty efficent collection device from items he found in the car port so I said we would try it out.

    Keep it boiling as hard as you can. The faster you boil off the moisture the better
