Invert sugar
« on: January 22, 2018, 04:10:59 AM »
I was reading through https://www.cgcsforum.org/index.php?topic=674.msg3556#msg3556

The mixture to cook at 227+ degrees, can I assume this is F ie just under boiling point of water, 100 degrees C?

Water boils at 212F at sea level.
As you cook a sugar mixture, the boiling point goes up as the water evaporates.
227F is 108C
There is the unknown and the unknowable.  It's a wise man who knows the difference.

Oooops, I should have looked it up as F is not my 'native degrees' and my memory is not good.  :-[
