All 39 taps in Syracuse.

First year tapping trees. Tapped yesterday afternoon. This morning I had 16 gallons of sap already using 3/16 into buckets. Hope to have enough sap by Wednesday to do some cooking as the temperatures drop. One question i have is can you store sap for 4 or 5 days if the temperatures are below freezing.

Yes, you can store sap in below freezing temperatures.

It's always best to process your sap within a few days but if your storing it longer keep it as cold as possible to prevent spoilage. Store it out of the sun like on the north side of a structure to help keep it cold. I have a few barrels that I store my sap in and if it looks like the temperatures are going to be warm enough to be a problem I will pack some snow (if it's available ) around them to keep it cold.
