With the bubbler system this year,syrup came out all extremely light,pans easy to clean up,as it was a light creamy coloured film on the flues,syrup is crystal clear and sparkling like you would expect from a filter press,but we use gravity filtration. Tested syrups this morning before I put all the testing equipment away. First syrup graded at 88 Lt. Last syrup graded at 84 Lt. My wife said quit cleaning the pans so much,but actually I only cleaned the steam away twice. Last syrup had a strong flavour to it but definitely golden in colour.
