need something for filtering and botlling next year.. but what

[Super Sapper]

These are all good options especially if you are staying in a budget. If you do not mind spending more (around $3000 total), a filter press and electric water jacketed bottler is the most trouble free and least time consuming option. I would never go back to filters after having a press as I have to do everything myself. The electric water jacketed bottler allows you to do other things as the syrup heats up without worry of going too hot and will maintain the temp as long as it is on.

I couldn't agree more, if I had an extra 3k plus I would do and intend to do just that.
