Has anyone had sugar sand issues this season?
I have to take my front 2 cross flow pans off every night to soak with distilled water to remove all the sugar sand build up. We boiled for 7 hours last night, and I thought that I'd have to shut down before we ran all of our sap through to clean the pans. That's the longest boil we've had in years. We've made 8+ barrels of all very Light syrup, I'm hoping to make some medium to jug before the maple tours next weekend.
