We boiled Friday, Saturday and Sunday and each day the sugar content got worse. Sunday the sap looked like crap, we couldn't filter it coming off the wagon, it was impossible to filter the finished syrup - and the syrup tasted pretty good and almost came back to medium! Crazy season... We definitely couldn't have boiled today (Monday) because the sap started to go ropey in the float boxes and in the lines that feed the RO. I was glad to get the Beast drained, rinsed and it's now having a snotty sap bath for a month or two.

All things considered we'll take the season we got and we're happy with the changes we made to simplify our operation. We already have plans for making things bigger and better next year!
