Chip,

I collected 170 gallons from my taps on vacuum that ran from Friday evening until 8:00 yesterday morning. Collected another 30 gallons at 11 am and had only gotten about 20 gallons more as of this am. The buckets did nothing.

Did your C grade have a good flavor? Mine was the best tasting syrup I made this season. The same thing happened last year. All of my syrup tasted good but the C grade at the end was the best. Needless to say it didn't go to Bascoms and won't this year.
