General Discussion / Re: Banning the use of Galvanized sap Buckets?

« on: February 02, 2012, 11:03:01 AM »

Al your right~!!!!!!!!!! We tap 2000+ Buckets every year we boil with wood no RO we have Won the 2006 and 2010 best in the nation with our syrup at the NAMSC & IMSI. We don't have the need for pipeline and would rather not use it as far as i'm concerened Syrup taste better from a bucket and firewood! sugaring is in my blood and it's these BIG operation that are going to end up putting us "ole fashiion" operation out of business.....

General Discussion / Banning the use of Galvanized sap Buckets?

« on: February 02, 2012, 08:39:37 AM »

I know growing up in Fairfax there are a lot of sugarmakers here. I was told yesterday that as of Jan 2013 you will no longer be able to use Galvanized buckets for gathering sap has anyone else heard this yet? I know you can not use galvanized barrel to store syrup but havent seen this anywhere on the internet.We have tap over 2000 buckets put up every year (no pipeline) and rely on these and if we have to change to aluminum buckets don't know what we will do.

Thanks For your help Renee
