Today might or might not be our last boil - depending on how the syrup tastes and smells. We made beautiful light and medium until Saturday. Sunday we finally got some amber. Today's will definitely be amber - maybe 'C'. While most around us haven't gotten a freeze-up since Friday night we got a decent freeze Saturday night and a light freeze Sunday night - the benefits of being beside a lake still covered in ice!. As a result, we're still getting close to 3/4 gallon of sap per tap for each of the last 3 days. The sugar content isn't great but it's definitely worth boiling - especially when you can RO 75% of the water out of it!

Doing some quick math - we made 50% of our crop in 7 days and 75% of our crop in 10 days. We were well rested until Good Friday and we're now exhausted! At least we're exhausted with a lot of full drums in the basement.
