Anyone tap trees to get pure maple syrup? I've been asked if we want to start this. I've heard it's a long process. It is something that we are definitely going to think about.
Not sure of your location for temps will determine out come of your season. How you tapping...buckets line to holding tank/barrels? How many taps? Type of fuel to boil sap? Indoors or outdoors boiling? When the sap decides to run good chance you'll have long days into nights of boiling trying to keep up.
I've got a family member who does this. It's a big job, long process. He only does a small production though, nothing big. He always complains about the boiling process.
