Well I boiled this past Saturday (2/20/2010) starting at 3pm or so and finished around 9:30 At that point I let the evaporator finish the fuel and I drew off the almost finished syrup. Sunday I finished the batch on the propane burner. I bottled 3/4 gallon of dark amber into various sized bottles.
I was hoping for a lighter grade but my first time using the new rig presented issues. It was burning so fast and hot on the two front pans I couldn't keep up. The next time I will control my fire so it doesn't rage so intense. Overall I'm happy with this years first batch of very tasty syrup.
