Well I somehow ended up with 4300-4400ml of gorgeous syrup, crystal clear and beautiful with a robust(!) marshmallowy/vanilla note...but it's probably going to crystallize on me :-/
A little bit bummed, cause it thermed out perfectly last night, red line absolutely dead level with the meniscus, when I checked it while hot. But this morning that red line went about 6 hashmarks above the surface of the therm cup. I do have both fresh sap and distilled water, so could try to *fix* it, but think I won't bother and just let it do what it will. Hari Om.
