Just bottled up last nights boil.

It’s darker than earlier syrup, but not much.

Sugar went up today from 1 to 1 1/2%. That’s a good thing.

another small batch last night. my sugar was also up fron 1 to 1.5. slightly darker, but still on the bottom side of amber. sap was very cloudy, finally had a chance to give collection tank a good cleaning after pumping. sap this morning is crystal clear...so keep those tanks clean folks

Bottled 18 gallons of some of the nicest syrup I've made earlier today. Just a shade past light because it's a mix of everything I have drawn off this season. Sap becoming slightly cloudy but I haven't checked it today.

Running over here today. Boil #8 underway right now.

My sap has been at 2% or higher pretty much all season, but dropped all the way down to a little over 1% the past 2 days. Almost not worth boiling 80:1 sap without an ro. If we dont get a freeze tonight and/or Wednesday night, I think its all over for me.

Boiled down 800 gallons of sap collected from Sunday afternoon through Monday afternoon. I thought for sure that batch would finally be dark...still a an amber, a dark amber. Sap is really slowing down for me, like others said, this may be over soon.

Same thing across the line Jason. Hoping for just a little longer.

Surprisingly, I pulled in a gallon per tap from yesterday to today. Hoping this weekends dips below freezing will keep things up a bit longer

Pumping up getting ready to boil tonight, checked the sugar and it's up from 1.5 to almost 2%. I was not expecting that.

Definitely doing some weird things this week.
