The way I've done it is to have some ready to filter, and have the evaporator going full tilt with draws coming as needed. My draws are by auto draw. I then have syrup in my finisher, heated to filter and some in my draw off tank. While I'm boiling, I explain the process and the auto draw opens and closes as it's ready. I then pump the syrup in my finisher thru the filter press at proper temperature, then we draw some syrup into a container and once it cools enough, just before they leave we give out small samples.
It doesn't need to be the same syrup that's being drawn that goes thru all of the steps. You just explain it. The biggest thing for them will be the aroma in the sugarhouse and the taste test. Surprisingly some will think the syrup comes from the tree as finished syrup.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
