Bryan - The winning samples on display were the unopened bottles not used for sampling in the judging so they'd have more syrup in them than the 2nd bottle that was not on display. Perhaps they cold filled their containers to get them so full?

Our entries were from some extra thick syrup so we had to add water and re-heat to get to density - so I'd guess your levels were the same as ours. Everyone enters in the same Kent bottles so that shouldn't make a difference.
