Done for the year
Just ran the last 250 gallons thru the RO and the pan. Flooded with water instead of sap and brought the last boil into the house to finish. Should do about 52 gallons when all is said and done. Not bad considering this was my second year and only did 16 gallons last year. Tapped January 14th/15th and glad I did. First boil was January 20th.
Funny year. Sorry to see it end but glad its over.
