LOVE YOUR NAME! Hello and welcome to the best place for info on Maple Sugaring. I started last year with 50 taps and used thishttp://andersonsmaplesyrup.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=83_85&products_id=928
I had great luck with it using it to filter off of the evaporator through several pre-filters into my stainless Turkey fryer pot. Finished it off in that and FILTERED AGAIN into a Stainless coffee percolator, (preheated with water, dumped water added filtered finished product) to bottle into HOT bottles. The main thing with these filters I have learned, is to mark the filter with the word TOP and wash with hot water from the bottom to the top, moving niter and sediment OUT of the filter, rather that pushing further into it.
