Jwalker where are you guys located? Im in northwest CT and have and operation of around 1300 taps if you are within a reasonable drive your more than welcome to come see it done. I have almost all tubing on vacuum, it runs to tanks near the road where I can pump it out and then it is trucked to the sugarhouse where we run it thru a reverse osmosis to separate out a portion of the water to save time and firewood boiling it. By taking the 2 percent sap and concentrating it to about 8 percent you can make 4 times the syrup with the same amount of firewood and time in the evaporator. If you have look on facebook and search Crowhill Sugarhouse you will see my page and there are many pictures over the last few years of everything.

Even just tapping takes days especialy with this deep snow.
