grading syrup

[tbear]

How does a person go about grading their syrup (grade A amber, dark amber etc.) and is there a handy little (inexpensive)gadget you would use?

You could probably google Vermont Temporary Maple Syrup Grading Kit and see what most of us use. Just put your sample of syrup in the little glass jar and compare it to the colors in the chart.

Groovey! I'll add that to my wish list for next year. Let's see, 2 dozen pre-filters, 2 hydrometers, at least 5 buckets, and a temporary grading kit. Thanks!
