NOTE: Never go below 11 on the Brix
Reading.
Some experimentation may be necessary
before correct Brix and serving temperature
will be found. Generally, the higher the Brix
reading the lower the serving temperature.
Conversely, the lower the Brix reading, the
higher the required serving temperature. If
the complaint concerns product appearance,
(ie. too runny or too stiff) always first take a
Brix reading of the mix because variation in
sugar content will have a direct bearing on
actual freezing point.
