3/ You're tapping 200 trees, bc the hassle of that final cleanup bit for 1% of your syrup is proportionally pretty small. But if you're tapping 50 trees (as we will be some day) or 8 trees (as we are this year, because reasons), it means that ~50+% of your syrup is down in fins

4/ I also bought a "float box" which auto regulates sap level in the evaporating pan. What I just now learned is "you connect that to your head tank". My WHAT? OK, so for next year I need to mount a ~50+ gallon barrel to the wall and plumb it into the system.

5/ For this year I'm just going to remove the float box and plug the hole with a 3/4" NPT stainless steel plug. So, anyway, ~$700 for a pan upgrade I kinda don't actually want, and ~$300 for a float box I'll not use until 2019. /shrug oh well.

Oh, you need to install a pump? What happens if you don't put one in at the beginning?
