Into the woods by 6:45 AM.  R/O running from 7:50 AM to 1:00 PM.  8 batches into milk cans.  Back to the farmhouse by 5:00 PM.  It was a routine day cooking 415 gallons.  We’ve become dependent on the R/O for getting this done and turning this into a routine day.  This is still an amazing development to us with all the past years of “long pleasant hours, few spend in bed” cooking syrup in the woods.
