Storing syrup in 5 gallon pails

[Clinkis]

I usually bottle all my syrup at the end of the season but I thought I would store some in pails for now until I figure out what Kind of orders I get. What’s the trick to doing that? Same as bottling where you heat it to 190 and then seal it into pail? I thought about just putting them in the freezer.

Stored in a freezer will do fine. If not they must be heated to over 190 , filtered and then put into clean containers (food grade). When you open them to pack into retail containers they only need to be heated to 180+ but not over 190. If the go over 190 you might need to filter again.
