Cook it longer, you didn't push all the water out.

I have heard that too much nitrogen in the fertilizer might be the cause

My 2 cents worth, is to settle the syrup in another container and then bottle it. Blizzard Branch

I’ve been growing sugarcane and making syrup now for 3 years.
 
I have a question for anyone that has experienced the same situation as I.  After cooking the syrup and bottling it, it is a beautiful clear golden reddish liquid. After the bottled syrup cools, in a few days, there appears a whitish sediment in the bottom of the bottles.  It looks quite unsightly to anyone purchasing the syrup and is noticeable, since the syrup is so clear.  I have read online in maple syrup production it is called niter... and was told that it is the minerals settling out of the syrup.
 
I have talked to an elderly gentleman nearby and he has experienced the same thing in his syrup, but has no idea as to what causes this.
 
My question is this:  Surely someone else besides me has had this happen to their syrup productio.  If so, please advise me if there is anything I can do to eliminate it.
 
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
