Anyone want to fund my expansion?

Now I need a free evening to set aside for bottling as I've run out of stainless pots.

Al - I'll be doing a large finishing and filtering run sometime over the next few days. Would there be interest in me creating a "How I filter" thread with pictures? I filter in batches of ~15l but my process can be applied to smaller batches as well.
IMO - the best thing you can do to reduce filtering frustration is to preheat your felt filter with steam, AND hang the filter so that the outside remains hot (i.e. inside a container of some kind so the outside is not exposed to cold air) while the syrup is flowing through.
I would be all over that Big Eddy, If possible I would even come and see it done, your only a 20 min drive away after all
