Just sucks when you work so hard and boil so long... But it's all good.. I've leaned a valuable lesson! And I'm gonna try for the sugar tomorrow night.. I will be shocked if we get another run like today... Apparently the temp went up to 21*C today.. And isn't going below 5*C tonight so I'm thinking this is the end?
How about there?
