Best to dump the ice to remove that water. Im sure you knew that. I strech a sheet over my collection barrel using clamps. It filters out bark and debris and catches the ice. Quick sweep and away it goes.
Yea haha, above 40 degrees and sunny feels like t shirt weather to us at this point. But yea we’ll probably collect a half dozen more times depending on the weather this year. Probably end up with 50-100 gallons of syrup total, from just the buckets. The tubing system makes a lot more as well.
