Decided to try this is a small batch before making huge amount for my Nucs.
Mixed 2 quarts of water to 20 lb sugar. (should be 1 quart to 20lb?)
put a little Pink Salt
few drops of various Essential oils.
Added 40 Grains(2.6g) of citric acid
heated to 236 F.
Thing turned to be gum..
I think I added too much citric acid and too much water. Citric should be 15 grains(1.9g)
Should I heat the gum back up and add another 10 lb sugar to make things a bit better?
Or just give this gum to some nucs and make a new TEST batch?
I dont kow if the bees will like the Over inverted gum.
Let me know what you think...
