[Syrupmakers] I have cooked cane juice two years now and each time I get settling at the bottom of my sealed and cooled jars.

We stopped making syrup several years back but we got a lot of our supplies from maple syrup equipment suppliers. You'd have to do a google search online. I don't remember the name.

I will be grinding the second weekend of December so I think it will be cold and won't have to ice the juice.  Where can I buy a hydrometer for measuring the viscosity.  What is the measurement I must attain.  I have been using my eye on the dipper as the syrup drips off as I am cooking.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
