Well it seems we broke our hydrometer in the cup earlier today and then dumped the cup (and the tip of the hydrometer) back into the evaporator. We didn't realize this until the end of the day.
I'm not that concerned with the small piece of glass. I suspect it was in the bottom of the evaporator when we cleaned it, or would have been caught by the filters.
I'm concerned about the metal type balls that were laying in the evaporator at cleanup. We bought the hydrometer from Atkinson's last year. We will contact them tomorrow for info on what we need to do.
Obviously hopeful we don't have to dump all of the syrup we took off today, but that seems like the right thing to do (approx 5-6 gallons).
Anyone else have the same issue? What did you do?
