hi Mark,
I had some of the off color sap as well. Nice and clear but yellowish off of some taps.

As you know, I'm boiling out of the rest.pans. I ran the level much deeper than last weekends boil probably 4-5" deep and Saturday's batch came out much much lighter. I was surprised how nice it came out. Wonder if it was I kept the scorch line higher up or if the sap had something to do with it.

Trees were running like crazy in Ansonia over the wekend.
