    FWIW, diatomaceous earth, shortened to DE, is a type of powdered stone and therefore it’s inorganic. However, it’s approved for use in organic food production. I thought some people might find that confusing.

    I would like to see a video of you finishing the filtering process. Once you broke it down to show us the cakes, the hoses were already removed. Also, when I break mine down, I tend to have a ton of syrup still in the filter; ie. my cakes are soaked and full of syrup. How do you get everything out?
    One of the things I think we do wrong is that we put more DE in than you do. We have the 7 plate filter so we only have 3 window plates. We typically filter batches that are no more than 15 gallons. How much DE should we use? We've lost a ton of syrup in the past last year. We could barely run any syrup through before the pressure went high and the press started to leak a lot.
    This video definitely was helpful, but like I said, I'd like to see the whole process. Thanks!

      Richard. When I run out of syrup to filter I run hot water through the press and I pump back to my syrup pan. I stop when I see water coming out of the press. I then crack the press to drain the water. Or I break down the press and clean it.

    Can you run some hot water through the press before tearing it down to reclaim some syrup. I know some sugar sand will be in the syrup

    Just a small time syrup maker. Can I use the old fashioned way of filtering and then use the steam bottler for additional filtering and bottling

      Yes, you can rough filter at the evaporator, then fine filter through the steam bottler later before bottling.

      DE stands for Diatomaceous Earth.
