sap collection??

[syrupdreamer]

I met a guy the other day at a sugar open house that buys these foil looking bags with a plastic fitting hole in them, he places them directly on the plastic tap to collect. He claimes to be getting them from a amish guy for about .30 each. They look like the bags resturants have bulk ketchup in.
Anyone else using them? or know of how to get them? thanks

Don't know about those ones but I used food saver bags the same way to get some extra taps in on the poor years in the past. I had like 200 of them out one year and they worked very well. Just sealed the top and melted a hole through them with a solder iron and used tubing taps with a short peice of tubing stuck in the bags. If I remember right I would buy them in the large boxes of like 6 and made them large enough to hold almost 2 gallons.
