For first boil last night, I made 11 gallons of very light amber (Hanna reading 73) I thought for sure it would be golden, but very good amber/rich taste. I drained pans (about 25 gallons) because it looks like we won't boil again till the middle/end of the week, so I'll have plenty of sweet to start the next boil.
I only had one small problem, where I forgot to drain an outside line from a couple weeks ago when I thought I was getting things cleaned and ready, and it had cracked, thankfully it was a quick fix and I was up and running.
