Back to the main topic on this thread-using buckets for collecting sap which have had another chemical in it (toxic or not). Don't use them. We may have used them in the past, along with hotdogs and eggs boiling in the sap. Times are changing. The FDA would love to become our inspectors. In order for the big packers to sell our syrup (and we all are growing bigger and making more) we need to be sure the syrup we sell is free from anything that is not maple.

I'm a moderator but we each have our own topics to moderate. This isn't mine so I can't do it.

Another issue is that maple is such a delicate flavor that will show an off flavor very easily even if it is from another food product.
