32F this morning at the house and a frost. No frost at the woods. Checked the tank and about 400 gal of even milkier sap in the tank. Odor stronger. Wife's dumping the tank on the ground when she goes out at noon. Told her to shut the pump off if the sap's not running. May turn it back on tomorrow if we get a good freeze. NOAA's still showing a low of 27 tonight.

Good syrup in the evap, so unless I think we can make good syrup (not likely) and/or get enough volume to make it worth it, likely not going to contaminate the evap. to make mersh. We'll boil off the evap tomorrow night. Season summary to follow shortly after.

Sap was foamy the other night, but I've had worse. The slight off flavor that we had when it was fresh off the evap went away when it cooled down. Now it's just a strong flavored B. Went into jugs last night.
