Tapping Trees

What liquid solution does everyone use to sanitize the tap hole after you have drilled it? What is the Ratio 5:1, 10:1? I have heard different stories, just water, mix alcohol w/water. Dont know!:confused:

Do not use anything, use a new disposable spout every year and you will be good.

There are no sanitizers approved for use in tapholes in the U.S.
