Maple syrup boils at 7.1 degrees Fahrenheit above the boiling temperature of water, so a good thermometer can be used to determine when it's syrup and and the density can be measured. Â°Bx Degrees Brix (symbol Â°Bx) is the sugar content of an aqueous solution.
Maple Syrup hydrometers are generally calibrated for 211 degrees F if you are testing maple syrup that is colder than 211 degrees F you will need to refer to the chart below to determine if your syrup is âlightâ or âheavyâ. If the reading is higher than the number on the table your syrup is âheavyâ and will need to be diluted. If the number is lower than the number in the table, the syrup is âlightâ and will need to be boiled more.
