Good point Kim. Takes me back to my childhood running around in the
local mill during the crushing. There was a small tap that the
chemists used to sample the syrup that came from the evaporators
before it went up to the crystalisers, and that syrup was finger
lickin' good! We never passed by without doing a spot of
sampling ourselves! :-)
