Is anyone else tapping da trees? I only put out a handful of taps this season. Can't be haulin too much sap with an injured back. Here in Central New York ("upstate" to some d-bags) the sap has been flowin for about a week or little bit longer. Temperatures have been prime, it might me hitting a little high in the daytime this upcoming week. Any word from elsewhere - Vermont? Canada? other New Yorkers?

people make beer with sap instead of water. and mixing half-done syrup with rum or something is damned tasty.
myself we have a sugar bush, not that big of one, just a couple hundred taps. but it's sick as hell. over the summer my dad built a sauna attached to the sugar shack and so we funnel the steam from the evaporators into the sauna and it's the most amazing thing in the world

My buddy Drew was telling me about a native Montana tree that you can tap for syrup, its a relative of maple trees. Supposedly the sap makes a semi sweet bitter syrup but is delicious when mixed with maple. I really want to do further research and tap some trees this spring.

i was a lumberjack for halloween and by the end of the night my bottle of maple syrup had been mixed with almost every alcohol that we were drinking. I can attest that the next morning my head was hurting bad
