Da-beat-is, or allergic to sugar, whatever you would like to call it?

Ok guys. You're sitting me up here with some pretty high expectations. If we get through this yr without at least one of you guys sending me some "real" homemade syrup I'm going to be disappointed! Once again, I'll pay... I don't think Tooln actually cooks. He just taps and sells the raw syrup. Cat I can send you a bottle if you want. Brad's right I do not cook my own. My neighbor down the road has a big cook operation. I sell the sap to him and he cooks it down. Don't worry he's not Amish, I see the way they cook and clean their equipment I would never eat or drink anything from them. PM me your details and we can work out shipping and price.

A post like that has to be setting off triggers at the DEA.

Ha, it's even better that I am a Chemistry teacher who actually grew my beard and shaved my head so that I could be Walter White (Heisenberg) for Halloween this yr. Tooln - Thanks for the offer. I'll pm ya...

Interesting, but no thank you. Fall is hunting time. The only thing I'm tapping in fall is the wife.
Edit. Installed the last 24 yesterday. Depending who's counting around 200 taps this year.

Shit isn't flowing by us at all yet Mike. Very limited sap in the bags so far. Same here. Went out Sunday and got maybe 15 gallons from 100 taps. It's early yet, besides I'm not in it for the $$$ only the tax savings.

Had some pancakes with "real" syrup last night... I now see what you guys are talking about and why it's worth the trouble to make it. Good stuff!

My 8 taps in my yard have been in a week and I only have 5 gallons to show so far. The forecast looks great though, so I think a good run is coming up. I have a buddy coming over to drink beer and watch the sap boil this weekend, so it should be fun. Just need the trees to cooperate between now and then.
