holding syrup after boil...I HAVE NO JUGS!

[Jerichobill]

Hello all, I want to boil this weekend but can't get the bottles around for a couple days. Can I boil to syrup, store on the fridge and then reheat to boil and bottle later? If so, how long can it be stored? Thx in advance.

Lots of people do that. Just reheat to about 185 to bottle.

It will be fine for a few weeks as long as the temperature stays below 40 degrees. The heat to 185 min, 190 better, filter and bottle. Letting it set will allow most of the niter to settle out. Don't mix it, just siphon and leave the nasty on the bottom, then filter and bottle at 185-190. Then combine what was left near the bottom of whatever you let it settle in, and filter that. You may then just want to use that since it will not be very much qty. or you could bottle that at 185-190 too.
