For those of you just itching to get outside and do SOMETHING, we are
approaching the sap season here in the twin cities. Rick Oftel has taps for
sale, if you have the trees. Rick, can you bring some along Sat to Rock
Bottom? Ideal conditions are 40 degrees daytime and freezing at night.
Most of the equipment needed is already in the hands of most homebrewers.
Here are a couple links to everything you need to know about tree selection,
tapping, collecting sap, and proccessing into syrup.
