\n92.6 gal<\/p>\n
Actual bottled:\u00a0 91 gal, 2 qt, 1 pt.\u00a0 Almost exactly the same.\u00a0 The slight loss is likely due to syrup that gets caught in the filter press.<\/p>\n
503 taps producing 92 gallons means the yield per tap is 0.18 gal\/tap\u00a0 = 1.44 pint\/tap<\/p>\n
The flue pan of the evaporate is okay.\u00a0 \u00a0The vinegar soak helped.\u00a0 \u00a0Its passable, but we can do better.\u00a0 Going back to our previous cleaning procedure next season.<\/p>\n
Into the woods by 9:00 AM to finish cleaning the pan, wash the floors and store tanks.\u00a0 Out of the woods by 1:30 PM.\u00a0 \u00a0 Then did final equipment cleanup at the farmhouse.\u00a0 Done by 4:30 PM.\u00a0 Tomorrow we fly back to Washington, DC.<\/p>\n
