has anybody tried this.......

Just wondering if anybody has ever ran into this::::: I have had a lot going on in my personal life and some things got over looked this past spring as far as the sugar house goes and what I found today not only ticks me off but also made me very disappointed in myself. My draw off tank has about 4 gal. Of 95% done syrup still in it. When I removed the lid as you all very well know it was molded. I removed the mold and the syrup still looks clean and smells fine. So he is the question of the day.........if I was to boil it down and re filter it do you guys think it will be ok??? I don't want to make anybody sick that's for sure. I have asked around my local maple community here and the general concensus is to go for it and if it tastes good bottle it up. What do you guys think??

Yeah go for it. A little mold (mother) on the top is not the same thing as if it had set for a long time and fermented. Bring it back to a boil and skim the foam off to make sure you got all the moldy stuff off the top and you should be fine.

Taste is what matters the most. If it has no off flavor then grade it accordenly. If it does then comercial or the new grade of processing grade
