how big are they? they must be 12in. in diameter to put one tap in. if you have larger maples, 2-3 taps can be applied per tree... and really... if you had 4-6 taps between 2 trees and it was a good season.... each tap can damn near put off 3-5 gal per day. i had one tree in my backyard this year do 11 gal in 24 hours on just gravity drip with 2 taps (gravity=no pump, some people pump the sap out of the trees but i feel it is unnecessary stress on the tree). takes about 30 gal of sap to make a gal of syrup. so with 6 taps on a good year, you can easily do a couple gallons of syrup. it really doesn't cost a lot of money either. time is the biggest cost. but that's the labor of love!damn im jelous as hell! i only have 2 maples on my property. which is not much at all, sounds like you got the setup!
