That's great, Karen. For the first time ever, I've not made anything darker than medium. 
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that I took off each batch after a max of 1-2 days of boiling. I used to just keep my nearups on the arch for several batches.
But yes, it's great to have the variety of syrups. Looking forward to seeing your final tally.
