Clinkis, my experience this year regarding brix is identical to yours and I'm mystified. I'm registering half the normal sugar content at best. I'm freezing the sap tonight and chucking the ice to raise the sugar content of what remains. Thank goodness the weather for the next day or so will facilitate this. Not a chance that I'm going to boil 1.5% sap over propane.
