I have a guy who is wanting maple sugar for his mini donuts he makes and sells out of his food vendor wagon. Right now I'm trying to find an efficient way of stirring the syrup once it reaches the right temp to turn it into sugar. I've been doing some looking online at the expensive commercial mixers and the sugar making machines that are sold by maple syrup suppliers and I realized a meat mixer for doing deer venison is about the same concept, except the mixer is horizontal vs vertical. Have anyone of you by any chance use something like this to stir the syrup while its turning into sugar?
