I've now put my 3rd batch in containers so the niter can settle out before filtering, bottling and proper heat-sealing. I'm thrilled with my total of 5250ml from 146L of sap. That's a 3.1% average sugar content. That yield of 28:1 was SO much better than my first 2015 batch of 70:1. Now I get to update my signature!
Hey MSM, that stickiness on your buckets is just residue left from the evaporation of past sap. Nice try though. lol Get a refractometer! You know you want to.
