Then connect the tubing to our collection bucket, and we're ready to go!
During the week, we store the sap in a 13 gallon pail buried in snow to keep it fresh, and we sugar off on the weekend. In the height of the season, we may sugar off 10-15 gallons on the weekend! Of course, 10 gallons of sap generally only makes a quart of syrup, but there's something incredibly satisfying about drilling a hole in a tree, boiling down what comes out, and then eating it on your waffles.
