Close to 4%
anyone else get better sugar %. First three boils was 1.8 and the last two was close to 4%. Most 55 gal. barrels were close to 4% and one was 4.5 the reds on buckets were reading 2.5% to 4%. tested 3 55 gal. mostly sugars and 12 buckets mostly reds. the bush was heavy thinned 3 years ago and I finish releasing all the crop trees over the last two years. Maybe all the timber managing is starting to pay off or is it just the whether and slower runs? Last year averaged 1.6%
