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.
While maple sap may be boiled down without the use of reverse osmosis, birch syrup is difficult to produce this way: the sap is more temperature sensitive than is maple sap because fructose burns at a lower temperature than sucrose, the primary sugar in maple sap.aking birch syrup is more difficult than making maple syrup, requiring about 100-150 liters of sap to produce one liter of syrup (more than twice that needed for maple syrup). The tapping window for birch is generally shorter than for maple, primarily because birches live in more northerly climates.
