    Until I checked my freezer this morning I thought that syrup at 68 would remain in liquid form. After 36 hours even at 68.5 the syrup turns frosty. In order to freeze syrup that stays liquid and does not lose its color you have to boil it down to 70 brix and that will cause many issues if not kept frozen.
