This afternoon we finished evaporating the remaining sap from yesterday and then collected 110 gallons of sap, which ran yesterday and today. We decided to call it a day rather to continue evaporating. I took the opportunity to rinse out the one bulk tank that we had been using most regularly. It appeared to be growing a bit of mold or bacteria and had an undesirable odor. A wash with a mild chlorine bleach solution and a thorough rinse seemed to take care of things. I have a 5:00PM meeting tomorrow night, so I will probably not get out to the sugarbush tomorrow. Tuesday is a vacation day, which will give me the opportunity to catch up on the evaporating, if there is catching up that needs to be done.
