Collected 120 gal today on 400 taps, we are going to gather tomorrow finishboff at night call it a season. GMP is really putting the screws to us so going to cut our losses for the year and try to figure out for next year.
I will dump all my sap and pull the taps tomorrow.

Test boil on the stove was bad. Never bad odor from boiling, but syrup had no maple flavor whatsoever, and was a bit unpleasant, even for me. Second opinion conformed. After cooling, the syrup poured like it was a bit ropey as well.
