I'm done. 14 batches total. Drained the flue pan yesterday and finished off the last 6l of syrup. Pans are soaking in vinegar.
We had collected 25 gals Saturday evening but by Sunday morning it was not smelling like something I wanted to boil.
Here's the progression. Extra Light / Golden (78%) to Amber / Dark (30%)

Yes. That is snow in the background!
Of course - our buckets are still hanging on the trees, so if there were to be a nice run of sap it probably wouldn't take too much arm twisting to convince me to boil it down.
