My filtration process is first I run my sap through cheesecloth. I put the cheesecloth in a strainer and overlap it at least once. This seems to get out 99% of any visible sediment. Then I boil and after the boil is complete I immediately run the syrup from a filter from tapmytrees.com (http://www.tapmytrees.com/syfish.html). However, even with the syrup at well over 200 degrees, it does not want to pass through the filter. I have been having this problem all year and it is extremely frustrating and very time consuming. However, as it very slowly flows through the filter the syrup has been coming out very very clear with no visible sediment or sugar sand. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make this process alittle easier preferably without buying a whole different filtration setup?
