I just set our 15 taps and we seem to be having moderate to good flow here in Oswego county NY. We have been using a plastic garbage can for the past few years to save up sap till we have enough to be worth boiling. The can is normally used to store sacks of dry beans and when we use it for sap the beans have to go into the oat and flour cans. I think it is time to buy a dedicated sap container, and I am wondering if plastic or metal is better. I know the ideal setup would be one of those plastic portable water tanks but I am looking for something cheaper. The advantage of plastic is that it wouldn't rust, but I am wondering if the chemicals outgassing from a new can would make the syrup taste bad or cause me to lose my few remaining brain cells. On the other hand I don't know what goes into a galvanized can other than zinc, so I don't know how that would work. Any advice will be very much appreciated. Zach
