Very interesting. I did not know that. So you are using DE with cone filters?

I’ve thought about using DE but I think the issue is you wash and reuse your filter and prefilters instead of throwing them away like they do with filter press papers. So the DE is going to be...

Here is another method we tried today and it worked really well.
We set up the Optimizer with the Orlon filter and 3 pre-filters. After the first pour which was over 2 gallons, we pulled the top...

SeanD,

They say if you want really nice looking syrup you need to use a filter press. So I wanted to post this picture of a bottle of syrup that we ran through a cone filter and pre-filters using the...
