First boil on my sugar house today was a full sucess! Sweetened the pans. Boiled 350 gal. last night with good friend Walter Maxwell at his evaporator then he came over to assist and help get me going today. Boiled approx 130 gallons of sap. Evaporator run at 25 gal. an hour. Not bad for one that is 30 yrs old. Pics to follow. Sugar content 3.5%.
