Sap ran well Monday/Tuesday, so I boiled both nights. About 80 gallons made so far and bottled in prep. for maple weekend. This season, the grade started out dark, almost very dark...likely because the sap sat while waiting for the RO parts to come in. Grade is lightening up to a mid-grade dark. Flavor's been good.

Walked a mainline yesterday and got the vac. from 24.5" to 25.5". Still more mainline to walk to get the vac. higher.
