Or store the opened product in the fridge for use.

hah! I must have read your mind. I have a large 1 gallon glass jar that I was doing that in. I let it sit for a couple days then drained it. I didnt reheat tho so I guess I'll yo back and do it again and reheat it. I didnt think about the bacteria again.

I'm going to see how it flows Monday as it looks like a good day, my only fear is all the buds. If its meh, will it work for sugar? I'm not sure I'll even get enough if I get any, but if its buddy will sugar still work?

When the trees go buddy you will taste it in the sap and in the syrup. I've already pulled my taps where I am. I haven't seen any temps below freezing for almost 3 weeks.

If you use the decant method, you only need to reheat it if you will store it at room temperature. If you want, just decant it for up to 2 weeks, stored in a cool place out of the sun, then carefully pour off the clear syrup and refrigerate it. In the fridge it will last at least 5-6 months and at that scale I suspect it willo be consumed before that long.
