By the time you put the syrup in a hydrometer cup and float the hydrometer it has cooled to about 211.
It is actually best to use a cup with a thermometer. Take the hydrometer reading, then the temperature and use the chart to get density. These are available from The Maple Guys, www.mapleguys.com
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
