Can you blend great syrup with scorched syrup tp help reduce the flavour of the scorch
OR
Do we have to pitch it ?

I should likely only be sold as commercial. Sorry. If you blend it with "really great syrup" you will then have more for commercial.
Just clean the pans and if you are still getting sap, start again.
It is very risky to blend very good syrup with sub par syrup, There is one remote possibility, convert it to sugar, The heat is so hi sometimes that can take poor syrup to a decent product.
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.
Thanks for the advice
The woods are full of sap- so I like the idea of starting again.
Left a lump in my throat once the pans scorched up but luckily we saved the pan.

Yes, like Dave said, clean up the pan and move on. Ruined syrup is ruined syrup. A ruined pan is another story.
It's easy to get more sap. Getting a new pan, not so much! Good save.

I did it once. Saved just the near syrup and finished it and put it in a gallon jug in my fridge. Wrote "scorched coffee syrup" on it so the kids wouldn't get confused. It worked great for that. Lasted a couple of years.
I never have burned a pan and have been doing it for 35 years. My father told me about burning pans and to never leave them alone. I have a bucket of water next to the evaporator and that has saved me more times than I can count. I call it my OH **** BUCKET, but it don't take much water to cut the sugar and slow things down.

I made 5, 40 gallon drums in 3 hrs last night on a 4x12, 8 foot drop flue, 4 foot front pan and one float. With 20% concentrate at an inch deep running so when you turn off the evaporator the flues are bare or barely covered. I run a carlin 701 with A 5 gallon low fire nozzle and 7 high fire nozzle with the pump psi set at 140 and run a stack temp of 580 F to 625F depending on the barmetric pressure with no barmetric damper so that = 15 gallons of oil per hour. And yes I built the evaporator from scratch and it is custom. I do have custom Thor Pans on it Because Leader didn't want to build them the pans were desinged by my cousin Thad Blaisdell.
