*crickets chirping* Wow everyone must be busy boiling down the last batch and/or cleaning equipment, only reason I can think of for zilch activity for last day or so!

Can't complain. Three spiles left, one per tree, all dripping perfect sap, but all noticeably slower. The ones I pulled a day ago are bone-dry around the spile holes, thank gawd, as I hate to see the trees cry. Kinda bummed out, have those last-day blues.

Grand total (pulling last three spiles today, out of time): 700l sap, as there is definitely no more than 1l between those three last stubborn spiles, and somewhere between 25-27l syrup. About 1l less if you take into account all the tinkering I did to try and Brix it, and still no better at it than I was before :-( So I am just going to reheat to 185 and jug what I can, keep the rest in the fridge, maybe put another batch into the sugar production line. You can make an awful lot of sugar from syrup!!
