I did bottle up 4 gallons on Saturday. Got more keeping cool pulled off the evaporator yesterday and will boil again this evening to catch up to the decent run with this warmup. Thankfully the north side of our tree lines are deep snow yet, so I've been stealing that and buried the line to the IBC tote and the return/recirculation line for the Shurflo. Seems to help keep sap cooler; but I expect by tomorrow there won't be much flow and I can clean the tote out and flush clean water through the recirculation line. Hopefully laterals and drops stay clean...
