[Baker]

Hello everyone, we finally bin getting sum sap uo here.I have bout 4 gal finished so far over the last week or so.I bin saving $ for the smoky lake water jacket canner with filter tray.ordered it yesterday but will be 3 weeks.my question is.I have bin storing the finished unfiltered syrup in in plastic 1gal water jugs in the chest freezer.it's bin pre filter once of the evap.before I finished it.is this ok to do until the water jacket arrives?will it effect the flavor?I like to bottle batches seperate because sum batches are different through out the yr.I like the dark stuff .

Baker, I've been eyeing up that same filter/canner. Ive been using cone filters for the past few years and they are a pain in the butt. Could you please give us an update on how you like the filter when you do get it up and running. Thanks. I also have a few gallons store in food grade buckets in the chest freezer, i would think the syrup is safe there for a few weeks at least.
