    The frozen jar was from what I had 12 gallons of. The unfrozen jars are boiled down to 67 brix and did not freeze

    Asthepotthickens, when you thawed out your frozen syrup did it separate into syrup and runnier syrup?

    No, I wanted to tell you do you know that you can turn your propane tanks upside- down when they start to draw empty and get another ten minutes out of them? Simply turn them in your arms hold for a minuted and set back down right side up.
    Just re-boiled ten gallons DONE again for the year.

    Thanks for that propane tank tip. I'd never heard that before but will try it for sure!

    Propane is a liquid and it settles on the bottom

    My syrup at 67 taken off at 223 still freezes like ice cream

    How thick is your syrup that stays liquid?

    Syrup at 70 Brix does not freeze.

    You sure about the above? Or is all your syrup boiled down to 70 brix
