VT State Tested Maple Syrup Hydrometer

This allowed me to ensure my syrup was thick enough. The first batch I made without this was like water. After using this, my syrup was good and thick. I made sure to be careful when testing to not let it drop to the bottom of my test cylinder. If you plan on making your own syrup, this is the tool you need to get the correct thickness.

After our friend laughed over the fact that we used a wooden spoon with black marks on them to determine if our maple syrup was done or not, he suggested we buy this particular hydrometer, and yes it takes all the guesswork out of it! Nice addition to our new hobby!

Works great.

Satisfied with the seller, pretty hard for them to screw up on one item unless it arrives broken.Did slime the fact that the Hydrometer is VT tested and required but it is made in China.They should stock and sell Made in USA

Love this hydrometer but I was broken hearted when I forgot it was in my jacket pocket and broke when I sat down to throw more wood in the evaporator. It is great and I highly recommend getting this if you are new in making maple syrup. Helped me big time!

Great too for making maple syrup

Used for making maple syrup,Measures sugar content in the syrup,Works very well, best maple syrup I ever tasted. Do not drop in tube, lower it in the liquid slowly to prevent breakage .

This was our first attempt at making maple syrup. Thanks to the hydrometer (along with the test cup) our first batch turned out great. We had to keep testing the syrup until it reached the right spot on the hydrometer. It apparently did it's job, because our first batch was devoured in no time!
