So like an idiot I decided to start boiling down my sap last night at 10 pm. Don't ask. Boiled down like 6-7 gallons in a turkey fryer pot. Couldn't stay up into the night and woke up to the picture below. It's probably something like a Gallon of yellowish sap with alot of "sugar sand" as Scotty calls it at the bottom.
Question 1: Do I boil this down more outside before brining in to finish?
Assumption 1: This sap needs to be filtered before bringing to finish.
I realized "cheesecloth" and my coffee filter aren't good at filtering Sap. Guess I need to hit up amazon.
Question 2: Should I be maintaining a certain temp while I'm boiling outside (wow, hope that doesn't sound stupid)?
Question 3: Do you recommend filtering the "yellow sap" and storing it a week refrigerated before finishing?
Any advice is helpful.
