[Syrupmakers] syrup kettles

[DBACrownhoney at aol.com]

How long can you hold your cane before you run it? Like from the time you  
cut it until you run it through the mill? Also, What does red rot look like?

Tommy,
    I agree with Bill. That's the first thing that popped  into my mind : 
soured juice from cane that likely was frost-bit. It only takes  a few stalks to 
mess up a batch of syrup. Red rot can also cause sour  juice.

Tommy, we had some juice that was a little sour. We thought it might be  ok, 
but the syrup came out what was called rope-e Bill

has anyone heard of a syrup kettle being the  reason for dirty looking syrup? 
We have made syrup for the last 4 years  and even when we make xtra sure that 
it is cleaned very well through  wiping process, after the syrup cools and 
sets for several days,  stringy-like substance is found in the syrup. We had a 
person tell us it  is the kettle and if we change out our kettle it will solve 
the problem.  Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.
 
thanks and have a blessed day!
