What a gorgeous sight to see. I can't wait until it's our turn. BTW, watch out or that big black cat will tip your bottles over. ;)

Looking good, nice work!
I tossed a hydrometer in my sap yesterday and it was 1.5 brix, so 57 to 1.

Mine wouldn't float ,almost but I guess some is better than none,you know how spring can just pop up here and never freeze?
