How to press sorghum and making syrup

- Collect the foam in a bucket and add some water and feed the microbes in the soil you grow in. Nothing goes to waste. I harvested thousands of acres of high gear on combine harvest when I was a young man. Enjoyed it.
Old school is still alive proud to see the family unit involved..
- enjoyed the video. i was actually thinking of buying that same crusher so it was good to see it in action. just a few things, although great for animals, sorghum grain (seeds) is used quite extensively as human food especially in india and africa. it is the 5th most human consumed grain in the world. the leaves, although great for mulch, are even better animal food. i never met a cow or horse that didn't like sorghum leaves, i assume do to the high sugar content. also, back in the day, all that foam you threw on the ground would have been saved, fermented, and distilled into a rum type alcohol (strictly for medicinal purposes.). the old timers didn't waste anything.

- Where can I purchase a press like you used?
- Thank you so much for this video! Sorghum grows well for me, and had done some juicing with a juicer and added to our home beer brew.. but so tedious..and not sure if the sugar cane juicers would work, but this looks like it does just fine :) and worth investing in. Excited about doing the boil down process and making syrup! Thank you so much. :) Also, how is it stored once a syrup? cheers.
- Do you press the stalks a second time? I would recommend doing it.
- I remember doing this as a kid when it was a community endeavor!! We still have a “Molasses Festival” in late September in Arnoldsburg, WV.
- heat sorghum to crack temp. and pour on freshly popped corn.
- Can you put spices in the sorghum sap and drink it as a chilled beverage? In India people regularly drink spiced sugarcane sap
- Hi stefen....i am interested to have some seeds. Can i buy some of shorgum seeds. Thanks.
- This is very very cool.
- Can you drink it raw like sugarcanejuice!? How come you did not drink what was in the glass!?!?
- Ever try to make taffy from your sorghum.
- My friend, please satisfy my curiosity: This is sweet sorghum, right?
The taste of this "juice" extracted is somewhat similar to sugar cane juice (in taste and texture)? Thank you so much in advance!
- Good show with an indication of recoveries...12 gallons of juice of 20 degrees brix give 1.5gallons of syrup after 6 hours boiling to 212 degrees Fahrenheit....what is the brix of syrup?
- love the video. Hate the mask. Not needed.
- Great video! Where did you get the press? Been looking for one for a while....
- If I were there, I'd cook it with some hops, dump a pack or two of clean wine yeast into it and make some beer. Some of that beer would get inoculated with a vinegar mother to make vinegar, but I'd drink most of it.
If it has starch in it, some amylase to break it down to sugar.
Wondering if I can grow that in hot dry southern California and how much one of those cane presses costs. And could I DIY one. ;-)
