So I use 5 gallon pails hanging off trees but with no lids, any one have any good idea on what to make cheap covers with???? With no lids on rainy days the sap turns yellow and get dumped.

Hey Mark. I was thinking about it because Fri-Sun looks enticing, but then next week's forecast is still below freezing. Unless the forecast for the next few weeks starts to show better temps, I'll just wait to tap until the last week of Feb. I don't want to get everything all set up, have a mini-boil this weekend and then have everything sitting there empty for two weeks.
