Completed 3rd boil yesterday with stored sap after much delay, and to my surprise it ended well. I was waiting until Easter travel was over and for the taps to resume after a prolonged weather shut down to see what it would look like. The upland sugar males are still pre-bud, but the reds by the shore are far gone, and six bags were pulled already. Well, being only the beginning of April, the remaining 10 ran clear like the devil, but the brix was only 1%, less than half than before the shut down, and much of the stored sap was a bit milky, so I dumped the whole mess and pulled the pin. I was able to combine two questionable three gallon kettles of unfinished syrups and take them down to one beautiful 3 gallon set, ridding a faint strawberry odor I had never experienced before from one of them, which was great. It brought my season to 8 gallons, an unprecedented total, and now I can give some to a few neighbors I've had to stiff a few years;>
