[Syrupmakers] sorghum making

[Kevin Harbin]

Darker?  YES.  It is very dark and has a slight red tint to it.  But it's
done that all 3 years I've used the iron kettle.   However, it doesn't seem
to affect the taste that much that I can tell.  I just got finished jarring
up about 1/2 of what I cooked and I'm 1 qt shy of 12 gallons. That's all I
feel like doing tonight.  I'll try to get some pics up in the next day or so
of the 2-1/2 day FIESTA.

Kevin:     Does the kettle that you use for cooking make the sorghum darker?

  I have always heard that cast-iron kettles makes sorghum much darker.  I
use a s/s batch pan and have regular evaporator pan that we don"t use 
because we only make 3 or 4 batches.      Thanks  Clayton (sorghum)
