Well, since I shut down yesterday I gathered another 140 gals of sap so far, so now that I'm up to 320 or so gals in storage I will have to get more serious about boiling. The last few boils were all short ones; boil 2 hours, draw 7-8L of syrup off, and shut her down. I've already made more syrup this year than all of last year. I'm telling you, when you get the pans sweetened it is truly amazing to watch it turn from sap to syrup in such a short period of time. My lowest brix has been 67, highest 70.4. I really got to learn how to adjust it to get a more consistent brix. Given how much I gotta get through now, I may just give it a try tomorrow. I plan on mixing a little sap into the syrup to adjust the brix...is that very wrong?

Apart from the abundance of sap, one of the nicest things so far is 5 repeat customers from last year.
