I've seen a lot of discussion about sap freezing in the buckets or letting it sit frozen for a bit till the boil. My question is different. Has anyone frozen sap for extended periods? Say six months? Or even 3.

If it's frozen you can keep it as long as you like, days, weeks, months, years.

Sap stored frozen for a long time can take on a musty smell/taste. Probably OK to make into syrup, but not so good as a sap beverage.

Near me is a place that does an open house every year for kids far after the season is over, that must be what they are doing. I had suspected they were boiling sugar water so they could See what it looks like and then had the canner full of syrup from the season. LOL
