We usually figure 60 gallons of syrup as the production goal from our 400 taps. Another 8 1/2 gallons have been bottled bringing our total to about 31 gallons. Our new collecting tank is causing some problems. While the tank is nice, its higher then the old tank and that makes emptying the collecting pails harder. We use 5 gallons plastic pails to gather the sap from the trees. With the collecting tank being higher, we have to lift the pails higher and that wears you out faster. We have some ideas for modifying it but have not yet had the time to try it.
