High Sugar Content

[hodorskib]

This is my 13 year making syrup and each has been an adventure. This year I am trying sap bags and so far I am really liking them. I have had them freeze solid with over 2 gallons and not one has split or come off the tree. A nice surprise is how high the sugar content has been. Normally the trees I tap run an average of 1.5% but so far this year I have been averaging 2 1/4% which is very nice. I just pulled my first batch of very light syrup 3 gallons on the dot. Everything is boiled off all the ice is gone from the bags and hopefully this rain won't slow things down. Hope everyone else is doing well.

So while he does that i figure i will run around and tap them. The other afternoons i been rushing home to start the ro!
