[Syrupmakers] Hydrometer

[Richard Harrison]

Jay,
     Syrup is usually taken up at less than 30 degrees Baum. So you can figure that the lower range hydrometer that you mentioned should be more appropriate.
                                                                 Richard

  Hello all,
I have several questions about hydrometers. It will me
multi part questions, so I hope you understand. I'm
not so good at explaining things. (so my wife says!)
#1 Is the temp. of the syrup taken into consideration
when checking syrup. (due to hydrometer being cal. at
60 deg F) and if so is there a chart to go by for the
correction factor.
# 2 I have an account with McMaster Carr so I'll be
purchasing my hydrometer from them. one of the
hydrometers part # is 4090K11 its Baume scale is 0-50
The other part # is 4099K13 its baume scale is 0-70.
Would either of these be suitable, and if so would one
be prefered over the other. You can go to McMaster
Carrs web site and see them by searching for the part
numbers.
I hope I've explained myself well enough. Thanks in
advance!
Jay
