Gregory Rec/Staff Photographer: Michael Bryant of Hilltop Boilers in Newfield holds a syrup grading kit containing different syrup grades on Thursday, March 14, 2013. Maple producers will syrup from the batch they are making into a bottle and compare the color of the syrup against the standard grades in the rack. Lighter amber syrup tends to be made earlier in the season and darker amber later in the season because of the accumulation of certain bacteria.
