the sap I pumped up today was cloudy, but still smelled and tasted OK, I boiled it (very lightly RO'd it) and pretty much just drew most of the sweet from my pans. I checked the tank about an hour ago and maybe 150 gallons in it. I'll collect what I can tomorrow and Tuesday then it will probably be the last boil.
I'm at 195 gallons so far, so more than last year, I was really trying to achieve 1/2 gal of syrup per tap, but that doesn't seem achievable this season. Overall, a good season, probably should have tapped earlier and took advantage of some late January and early February runs, but still a fun season...I wasn't ready to go in January anyway.
