Another milk can bottled. Into the woods by 8:00 AM. Back to the farmhouse by 12:15 PM.
Approximately 5 gallons remain to bottle in two milk cans. Projecting around 72 gallons for the season. One milk can has around 3 gallons. The last milk can, around 2 gallons. We put the last syrup into a separate milk can because it will be very dark: likely grade B. Its been quite a few seasons since we made syrup that dark because we could cook syrup faster with the R/O so it didn’t get that dark.
We’ll try to bottle both milk cans tomorrow. Estimating it will take 6 hours. It’s two smaller batches so will finish on the propane burner faster. We’ll finish and bottle each milk can separately so we don’t mix in the very dark syrup.
Cloudy and mid-40s today.
