Switched to bags this year. Hopefully less cleanup at end of year. Homemade bag holders from PVC pipe.
10 trees tapped on Saturday. Collected 85L so far. Worried about the coming even warmer spell. I've got as much snow as available piled around my storage buckets. I'll likely boil whatever I have soon to avoid spoilage. Freezing a big zip lock bag full of water to add to the storage barrel to try to keep it cooler.
Why are you worried?
2017: added shut-off valves at several points on the main line, 66L made, 13L sold
