Well, just cold-Brix'd #7 and it's wayyyy over! Dang! So I got my work cut out for me this morning, once I get showered and dressed. I've also been turning some of batches #1 and #3 into sugar with my awesome new toy, a KitchenAid stand mixer :-) Works great! It's just getting the **** syrup to 265ish without it scorching that takes forever. I've found that 1l syrup in a 5l pot is about right, and my mixer can turn that into nice demerara-like sugar in like 4 minutes, on no more than setting 6 (for some reason my model didn't come with a spatter shield - grr) So lugging syrup out to BC will be easy this year cause it's going to be sugar, and it can be reconstituted back into syrup!
