I have 250 gallons of sap that was clear this morning when I checked the dairy tank. I just rechecked at 1915 hrs and it is cloudy to the point i cannot see 24" to the bottom of the tank.

Is the sap bad and do I need to throw or if I boil it tonight will it be an poor quality.

Thanks

Taste it. If it doesn’t taste bad then you should be ok to make it into Syrup.

Dip some out in a glass jar and you'll see it's not as cloudy as you think. I'd get it boiled today though. Once your boiling it you'll know by the smell, but my bet is it's ok

I checked it in a glass and it was not cloudy as I thought but nonetheless I’m boiling it now. Thanks

I've made lots of great tasting dark syrup with cloudy sap over the years.

Yes like Jason said boil it and make some old fashion syrup!
