Hi everybody,
Who can help me with a table with which I can check on how long (= how warm)
to cook a sugar syrup for various recipies. I have a lot of recipies from my
grandmother that refer to degrees Baumé and only a sugar themometer. Who can
link them together for me?
Thanks, Peter

Definitions

Balling: The name of a density scale for measuring sugar content in water base
solutions. Since grape juice is primarily sugar and water, the balling scale
was used for a quick and easy "sugar analysis" of juice. The Balling scale
contained a slight inaccuracy however, and it was corrected by Dr Brix. Today
the Brix scale is in actual use, but the terms Balling and Brix often are used
interchangeably.

The Balling (Brix) scale is simplicity itself: Each degree is equivalent to 1
percent of sugar in the juice. For example, grape juice which measures 15.5
degrees on the Balling or Brix scale contains about 15.5% sugar.

Baume: A system for measuring the sugar content of grape juice by its density.
It is not easy to use though because the numbers aren't easy to handle: Each
degree Baume is equal to approximately 1.75% sugar in the juice. Baume is the
more scientific scale, since its based on the specific gravity of a substance.

How are sugar saturations accurately measured in liquids? There are two basic
"devices and scales" used to test density or the specific gravity of sucrose
solutions.
Baume Scale - is a glass tube hydrometer, or sometimes referred to as a
saccharometer. It is then placed into the desired liquid to float freely. The
graduated scale within the tube, measures between 0-50 degrees baume (BE). 0
(zero) degrees being that of plain water.
Sorbets mixtures read between 14 to18 degrees BE, and a 1:1 simple syrup reads
28 degrees BE.
Brix Scale is a refractometer. It is a handheld instrument that determines
the "percentage" of a sucrose concentration dissolved in water. For example: If
4 ounces of sugar is dissolved in 10 ounces of water, the scale will read 40
degrees brix!


Sugar Syrup: Also called "Simple Syrup", sugar syrup is a solution of
sugar(s), typically white granulated sugar and/or corn syrup and water that is
cooked over low heat until dissolved and then boiled. Sugar syrup can be made
in various densities: (3 parts water to 1 part sugar); Medium (2 parts water to
1 part sugar); Heavy (1 part water to 1 part sugar.)
