Ran about 1/2 gallon a tap agine yesterday,held it till today,,I hate to start when I only have 1000 gallons on hand,,,much rather go thru 2000 at a whack,,it really takes 3 hours befor Marvin is really hammering,was surprised that Hill has been running better than rte.11,,,will try to start around 10,,,washed out syrup pan yesterday,,,thats loking a littel rough,,hopeing the distilled water I left in it the last 18 hours did the trick,,,,Still have not gotten any gallon per tap runs which surprises me,,,,,was too warm yesterday and will be too warm today,,,,but it has been freezing at nights,,,,still want to make another 400 gallons of syrup.................
