We do 80 taps and our best season gave us 12 gallons. That was about a 6 week season before the sap turned foggy and the trees were starting to bud (aka no more syrup making cuz it tastes terrible after that). But I guesss that’s because winter holds on so long and spring suddenly arrives. I know vacuum taps get a higher yield, but I’ve always heard you should only expect 1 quart per tap, of course every tree is different as well as every season. But anyways, curious to see how your first season goes! It’s a lot of fun and work! Enjoy.
