Hi, I'm glad to see another sugarier on here..
How are you testing your density of your syrup?
Are you using a Hydrometer or a candy thermometer??
when i started i used to use Candy thermometer, but then started using a syrup hydrometer, always got good consistency results with the hydrometer..
Some i make for my self i make extra thick, the only thing is it will crystallize a lot faster..but are youngest daughter likes the thicker syrup, so i make it that way just for her..well and me to.. lol
