And my first syrup is done. 1st gather/boil, I pulled a couple gallon last night. Left is new, right is what I got most of last year. I'll only get 3-5 gal. of really light syrup. Here is article from bascom maple on grades(my fav is dark and very dark) put a little in my coffee in my custom maple mug my sister made me for Christmas.
