My goodness! You've created a monster! You'll have to let me know how much you end up with tonight! Good thing you've got a long weekend ahead of you.
Okay so I need to eat my words.. we both fell asleep last night at midnight and had to shut it down. We bargained with each other for a while first... You know 'if you stay up tonight... I'll get up with the kids in the morning' business but at the end of the day.. We both went to bed with tons of sap left to boil.. This was one of our rookie mistakes! Because we are so behind in our boil that we are considering refilling our propane tanks at uhaul for $26 as it's Good Friday!
Anyhow gonna be done that batch soon and will report on amount and sugar contents!
By the way good job with bringing your ratio up!
