    Sap has been running 750gph off 3750 taps since 1pm. The releaser hasn't stopped pumping since 1. I think it's time to upgrade the pump?

    Sugar content jumped from 1.5 to1.9.

    Another 2600 gallons of 1-1.1% this morning. Not sure if the sap will run into tomorrow or not. The quality of syrup is still table grade and sap quality is still looking acceptable.
