Let it settle for a few weeks and then siphon off the top and lower the dip tube as the level lowers. Dont try and pour the syrup out and leave the bottom. I just busted open the last gallon of last years production and I fill a small container that we open during the week and I cap and store in the pantry the gallon jug and it doesnt spoil . As Ken said let it sit at room temp amd then siphon.
