About 30 overnight. Cloudy and 38 today. Trees started dripping a little this afternoon, but after the cold week take a while to come back.
Washed the finishing and bottling pans. Got the milk can of syrup on the finishing pan a little after Noon. It was ready by 2:30 PM. While filtering, one of the plates in the filter press was installed the wrong direction. It was the end plate so we could still filter, but we have to watch that more carefully.
We bottled 33 quarts, the first syrup of the season.
