Well, unless something changes. I think this morning was our last boil. Strange season indeed. Hardly any sap flow from our trees in the past week despite having good temps.
This last boil produced 4350 ml of syrup, using 165 litres of sap ratio 1:37, sugar content 2.3. We are happy with our numbers this season, regardless of the strange weather patterns!
Good luck to all in the coming week or 2, but I think the Petras clan is tapping out!
