We were able to get almost 400 taps this year and produced just over 130L of syrup uhh I guess that is around 34 Yankee gallons. Towards the end of the year it was incredibly hot and than snowed like crazy, the tress were really producing beautiful clear sap but after an all nighter of boiling we realized it was pretty bitter (why do all mistakes in syrup involve chopping more firewood?) To say we were not exited about our first year is a complete understatement. Though we missed out on a good chunk of the season and did not produced as much as we wanted we still had a blast, which is the main thing. Next year will be better, lets keep striving for complete maple Utopia!!! Cheers Hello Tig
