This week at Red Gate, we set up all the main tapping lines and prepared for the sugaring season to really kick off. I spent Monday up in the sugarbush learning the process of how taps are put in, and how the lines are set up to make an easy flow to the collecting tanks. We set about 5 or 6 different tubing lines that flow into the main line. Tuesday was spent tapping a different section of woods that runs into a large silver tank located near the site of the old sugar house.
