So far great year. 1 question. What is the best way to filter your syrup? I have used prefilters and the cloth type filters. They all just seem to block up very fast. Filtering takes for ever. Any hints?

ugh... since wed I collected 3/4 gallon from 10 taps! whoohoo NOT. I retapped four of the trees and moved three of the taps up on to the trees that are producing. They are large enough to support 2 and 3 taps each. Pretty disappointing... I guess next year I'll try to locate some different trees closer to home and run like 40 taps... then hope I get enough to actually make some syrup. Oh ya I was getting 2% sap now what pitiful amount I collected dropped to 1.5%. failboat...
I filter out of evap in cone shaped synthetic filters I paid about $15 each for from BascomOriginally Posted by Agb
