interesting, I don't pull any of mine off while boiling,,,, I just keep feeding fresh sap into the pan until I get about 80 gallons boiled down then I put this into a turkey pot to finish the batch.

I think this year only my first batch would really qualify as light or fancy.

I'm curious to see how the batch of sap I got yesterday finishes... I usually feed the last real dark run to the father in law for doing all the work boiling all season.
