Sap didn't run too bad yesterday. Brought home 850 gal which is almost 1gpt in 24 hrs. SSC is at 2.4% which means the bulk of the sap is coming from the sugars. Once the reds come online we'll be down around 1.8% pretty quick...just need to get there. The merc. taps brought in another 420 gal so it was a busy night. Made somewhere between 30-35 gal. I really could've done without the wind though...pretty crazy.

Evap's running good. Getting some of the kinks worked out. Set the RO to 1.6gpm (96gph), and it kept pace with the evap., so now I've got a pretty good idea what I'm getting out of it. Pretty sure last year I was in the 60-70gph range. The downside is if I start the evap. before I get the sugar real high, it's hard to get to the mid-upper teens while I'm boiling. Once the sugar's up in the teens, the RO's only putting out about 100gph of concentrate.
