I am boiling again today.
Edit : The odd thing is I am making the right amount of syrup for the gallons I boil, it is almost like I am batch boil

2.5 to 3 gallons in a day, or in a single draw? Wow, if it's the former, I've never had a draw that size but if you have a poor gradient that could make that happen. If I ever had a draw that size my temp would spike to like 40 above and my pan would catch fire. I wonder how you manage it. Are you just opening up and dumping a ton of syrup in a minute or so or is that one long draw over a half hour?
