I'm having trouble re bottling some extra light syrup to enter in a local competition and need some advice. I understand that syrup will darken every time you reheat it but these are my questions;


Does it still darken if you only take it to bottling temperature?
Does colour change vary if you reheat fast-n-furious or slow-n-gentle?
If minimum heat is the way to go would I still be able to get it through a cone filter at 190 degrees?

I've tried twice now and both times I ended up grading exactly on the line between extra light and light once I got it in the competition bottles. I have enough for one more try and feel it's too close for comfort so any advice is appreciated.

put it in cold if its going right to the competition it would be fine.
