Just to check i am getting this correct?
30 gm thymol dissolved in 150 ml of surgical spirit,
I buy my spirit in 200ml bottles from the chemist,so I add 10mg per 50 ml x 4=40gm in 200ml.
Then its:
One teaspoon to 13.5 litres of syrup.
.37ml/litre of syrup.

The above strength is to prevent fermentation, but the stronger mixture below of:-
5mL per gallon (4.55L) which works out at or about 1mL per Litre. Three times the dosage that you have mentioned for anti fermentation use.
