Cross Winds
Saturday was another sap bust, had a freeze but too windy for good sap flow. Friday night's sap all came through as the old Dark Amber/new Dark Robust. The flows off the 3/16ths have been most impressive and all those lines had the Starline spouts using a ID/OD connection. Bet the finally numbers will be +40% over the 5/16th but shy of the buckets. Having a little canner issue. Thought I was getting a temperature stratification but it could just be fatigue. Going to meet my goal of over half the production in glass.
