I check my collection tank for my tubing.The sap looks alittle cloudy not yellow but cloudy about 70 gallons I think the sun hit the tank hard yesturday .Im not to concerned about the grade of my syrup. I don't know if i should dump it and sanitize the tank and start over or boil it down. What ya think.

boil it, It will still make decent syrup.

Its when it is yellow that it makes dark syrup but it is all still good.

It may only be cloudy because of the time of the season that it is. As long as it isn't sour it will make good syrup.
