This has usually for me been the color of the last run or next to the last when it looks Red thru the bottle, hope not it's still February
Syrup is Red not a good sign for me!

History for me was red means stop and it was the end,but last year I had a nice run of light Amber after the nice red,but will see weather not looking good for us?

I used the weekend to rinse everything out hoping with the few nights this week and next of 30 degrees we may get another batch or 2.

I'll be optomistic. I think we're still going to get a few good runs.
I also usually get red at the end of the season, but have also got it mid-run. Relax and keep on tapping.
