what is the best use of ropey syrup??
ive got about 4 gals of ropey syrup it doesn`t taste bad, but not something id like to eat a lot of or sell for human consumpition ( because I don`t know enough about it really) . I finished it knowing it was ropey, because I figured I could be used in animal feed or something, anyone have interesting ideas??

They sell it for bear bait around me. Usually goes for $100 a barrel.
Why is it called "ropey" ? How would you know if you have ropey syrup?

I've never seen it but according to what I've read, long strings or threads like rope develop in the syrup which may also become thick like jelly. It's due to the growth of a particular bacteria.Originally Posted by relseek

Thinking small is best for me so probably won't get any bigger.

yeah stringy is right, i never seen it before either , but i knew what it was just by the difference in how it ran off the scoop and made long strings even before it was to 66 percent but i finished and filtered it easily enough figuring there was still a market for it anyone around me in western mass want to by it?? cheap

Went off the deep end. Might be in over my head...
When it's "ropey" it looks like your boiling tapeworms.
I did about 3 gallons once before I knew what I was doing. Used it for coon and bear bait the last few years.
