Reading a Syrup Hydrometer

[DonMcJr]

Ok I am seeing alot of questions about Syrup Hydrometers and reading them...

I made this picture hopefully describing how to read it right...so if I am wrong someone tell me so I can change it!

My Hydrometer is from "Tap My Trees" and the cold line is at 60 F... Hot line at 211 F

The cold line of 60 F is what you use if you use a conversion chat. ("Zeroed" at 60 F)




Mine gives me directions to read in Baume Scale:

211 F -------- 32 Baume
202+F ------- 32.25
193+F ------- 32.50
185 F -------- 32.75
176 F -------- 33
167 F -------- 33.25
158 F -------- 33.5
149 F -------- 33.75
140 F -------- 34
130 F -------- 34.35
120 F -------- 34.50
110 F -------- 34.75
100 F -------- 35
90 F --------- 35.25
80 F --------- 35.50
70 F --------- 35.75
60 F --------- 36
50 F --------- 36.25
40 F --------- 36.5
