Syrup was almost to boil when I filtered.

No I did not. So. I should put a little in every bit of syrup?

I like the brown food coloring idea. Let me know where to find a bottle of brown food color.

Today I had a little over 7 gallons of fairly clean syrup. Ran the first 4 gallons through with 5 cups of DE. Ran smooth,not much pressure build up. The remainder was hot and I just switched the hose...
Gamber container. 12 or 8 ounce glass syrup bottles. Much cheaper than sks when buying by the pallet.

In my short time owning anything beside a flat pan. On my 2x6 hybrid. I draw off 2.5 gallons. Then once I refire,I pour it into the front,where it came from.

I would not fire that rig up without 500-1,000 gallons on hand.

They won't run til we get another freeze.

Thinking flat plate. I only have a 2x6. So a good day would be Six plus gallons

Ok beyond talking about it. Just trying to get the best bang for my buck. Lapierre for 1360+ 200$ for freight. Lapierre for 1445+56$ shipping. WesFab for 1440 for ? Freight.
The Lapierre comes...
My 2x6 measures exactly 24x72

Gathered 250 gallons today. Shut the blowers off with 110 left in the tank. All of my float switches are working great. All I have to do is feed wood.

Hope the pan exceeds your expectations. Are you adding a blower,auf?

A well pump is cast iron and food grade. Don't sweat the petty things.
