Tree sap gathering and syrup making

[mowin]

I think he went through our states maple association. Sent in a syrup sample to be tested. Most lead in syrup came from the old buckets and tin pans. The SS pans and solder reduced the amount considerably.

We drain our flu pan after it cools. One so the sap doesn't absorb any lead, and too clean it. Its amazing how much crap is in that pan, and we filter our sap.
