21 overnight. 42 and sunny today. Trees started dripping around 11:00 AM. We focused on cooking. Wanted to get yesterday’s 410 gallons cooked down.
Into the woods by 7:00 AM. Started the R/O by 8:00 AM. We had to thaw some pipes and it took longer to wash the front syrup pan. Went to 7° Brix. R/O done by 1:00 PM. Finished cooking by 4:00 PM. Back to the farmhouse by 4:30 PM.
Better pressure on the R/O today. Stayed at 400 PSI. Fixing that leaky valve must have helped.
We may bottle tomorrow. We will collect. Expect a lot of sap.
