Boiled down 240 gallons today. I have a paint strainer bag at the inlet of my tubing collection tank and it had about 1 pound of ropey snot in it, which is a good amount for early march. The syrup tastes great though and is closer to grade a extra dark than a bitter B.
I'm gonna chill until the cold snaps in a few days, my buds are tight still.

Collected and boiled off 165 gallons Tuesday night. For the most part it was still clear, made 4 gallons of syrup that tasted great.
For what ever reason the rig was smokin' as we hit 40+ gph, a record for us. Still behind last year for syrup made though.
