A Maple Syrup Hydrometer is an absolute must have when boiling your sap down to syrup! It has two lines on it, one for when doing a "hot test" and the other for a "cold test" and chances are you will be using it for hot syrup rather than cold. When syrup is hot it is less dense and therefore the hydrometer sinks deeper into it. Although I do test my syrup once it cools down just to verify!

33 Quart Canner at Amazon.
For those who are serious about canning you will need one of these!
At 33 quarts this canner can hold nine (9) one quart jars! May sound like a bit of over kill but when you have three to four gallons of syrup to can you will thank me!
