I bottle about 4 gallons per batch. Good hot test, then through the vac filter. Just started using DE and it took maybe 8 minutes to get all 4 gal through, sucking some water out. Retest filtered syrup and it's about half a baume degree heavy at 185F. Not having any warm permeate/sap, decided to go ahead and bottle anyway. Now I'm worried about crystalizing.
I'm struggling to convert brix/baume. What's my margin for error in baume when at bottling temp?
And for those with a similar filter process (sticky kitchen floor warriors), do you have a rule of thumb for perhaps intentionally putting light syrup through your filter so that it comes out perfect density?
