Hi all,

I see a lot of photos of people drawing off into a tank then running the syrup through a press into a drum. I was always told not to pack syrup below180 deg. How are the smaller producers making this work with smaller batches? I know some who actually add to a drum that wasn’t full on another day? Does mixing the syrup that is cool in the drum with fresh hot syrup off the press affect it’s ability to keep properly. Jut trying to figure out how this works and what is safe.

Bruce told me last week they will stop accepting 5 gal pails next year. We want to pack in 15 gallon ss drums.

Thank you and I hope you all had a good season.
