We used to Make Syrup Similar to your Setup.............We Started around 2 am and made 12-14 Gallons of Finished Product Twice a Day (2 Batches a day) for 3 Weeks every Day. Hard Work, No Sleep hardly, Great Memories....We had a Car Rear End Vertical beside the Mill with Gears and Chain running off a Tractor PTO( In South Mississippi )
We had 12 acres of cane. Pa had one of the most efficient operations. Cooked with propane. Took gallon of gas to make gallon of syrup. His last year of growing cane ended when he finished paying off the full time worker and the worker had more money in his hand than he did. Dennis made $8.00 a day. Back in the late 60's.
I wish I knew of someone around Louisiana that did this it's a cool process. A girl I dated long ago her friend dads family did this. They looked at me as a city boy but I thought it was really cool how family came together to help up and just spend time.
+welderman27 They used to do it at Old Farmers Day in Loranger, La. out side of Hammond. I think Old Farmer's Day is listed by the Lt. Gov. office of Louisiana Fairs and Festivals. I think it's held late Sept. or early Oct.
Hello, I am from India now relocated to Redmond, Seattle. In India, we call it "KAKVI" . It's very good for health and I take it regularly. But the problem is I don't find Sugar Cane syrup in any US Super Market. How do I get it in US West Coast?
Is there a way to contact the syrup maker I am curious as to where he got his sugar kettle as I am looking for a decent sized one but having difficulty finding any
Sure wish I knew where to get one of those big hydrometer's. I am a home brewer and use a hydrometer to check sugar content. the one I have is hard for me to read.

My grandmother used to cook syrup. Leaps and bounds tastier than store bought. Incomparable.🥳😇🫶🏾

"someone fed the cane into the crusher" wow i wonder who
Is there a way to contact the syrup maker I am curious as to where he got his sugar kettle as I am looking for a decent sized one but having difficulty finding any
Hi guys, does anyone know the final sugar content @6:39 ? Also, how long does this last stored at room temperature?
Thanks a lot
Sure wish I knew where to get one of those big hydrometer's. I am a home brewer and use a hydrometer to check sugar content. the one I have is hard for me to read.
search a place called northern brewer there out of St. Paul Minnesota they sell the hydrometers.
Yes you are well recognised
Wonderful
Can you send to seattle?
What hydrometer range we have to store that syrup ?
Unlimited maaaan
Why none of the blacks that were the ones who mostly cut the cane. Also, the blacks did a lot of the syrup making.
Why is all the cane syrup I see black? That looks like molasses.
Yes. You are well recognized
My whatsup no +917088471095

That is because of the Blue Ribbon Mississippi cane. It comes out more dark than other varieties but I assure you that is 100% cane syrup.
