I use cdl plastic disposable spouts, and hang bags. The only time one ever pulled out was at the end of season, and was full and running over and windy, and I didn't remove it for several days.

If you buy a tapping bit, you will probably never go back to a regular bit.

I just went through and checked my sap bags and bakery buckets. No problem with bags, and only 2 buckets messed up which one was hung on a through away plastic tap and one bucket with tubing run...

I burnt a pan last year, kept boiling what sap i had left which wasn't much. It had a burnt flavor. I would not throw it away unless it is to bad. I am using my burnt syrup in my cereal. I did have...

My designer friend always wants to plant Autumn Blaze- Jeffersred because she says they don't reseed. I do think they do have some seeds but very little. Definitely used a lot in central Ohio.

I have tapped a couple of walnuts. Its a pain to do at the same time your doing maple. It seems it is harder to filter. It is very sweet.

Merry Christmas to all.
