[Syrupmakers] White sediment in sugar cane syrup

Mon Apr 4 07:40:47 CDT 2016

I use a swimming pool skimmer without the handle attached over a five gallon bucket at the grinder.  I then use a skimmer made with door screen wire at the cooking kettle.

<image001.gif>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. Ben & Dianne ParrishLake Church RdMetter, GA 30439ben at benparrish.netOn FaceBook:  “Parrish’s Old Time Sugar Cane Syrup”
