So I just had my first boil of the season. Boiling went same as always. Brought it inside for finishing. When it was done and it came time to filter .... it just never seems to go right. I bought the cone optimizer from Bascom. I'm using synthetic filter with 2 pre filters. It just doesn't seem to filter fully. Gets fouled up very quickly.
What am I doing wrong?
Should I filter it when it comes off the fire before finishing?
And if so how should I do that?
Am I using the optimizer wrong?
