It's been a busy year getting everything done in time. It takes about 40gal of sap per gallon of syrup. Average sap volume per tap depends on the weather. It is usually 1-3 gallons per tap per day on a good run. With this smaller line we use it creates higher vacuum by the time it get's to the tank or mainline,I put 4 vacuum gauges up at the end and we have had vacuum as high as 25" and that wasn't a good run,so the line is working properly. I just read yesterday on a maple forum a guy claimed he got 6 gal per tap,I would have to see that to believe it,but maybe. We have 22,000' of 3/16 tubing and 2500' of mainline and 1800 taps on this hillside.
