Well that was a long first boil (19 Hours)...LOL! I learned a few things to make it go quicker though!

But the taste was worth it 200%! :D

Looks good bud! Congrats on you're first batch. Looks way better than mine. I'm not sure if my first batch was even "syrup". This is my second year. I'm currently in the process of expanding for next year as well as perfecting my product. Good luck!
