Yep you've had a helluva learning curve this year, Lesley! I've also had to adjust a syrup amount or two due to syrup loss through filters. So have to rejuggle #s.

Make notes of what you've learned esp the buddy stuff. So far I've been lucky to avoid any encounters with buddy sap, but mostly having such a small bush to run helps. Mind the virgins could still throw me for a loop so can't get complacent! :-)
