    Is it actually super saturated? Those solutions tend to rather unstable, though I’ve never played around with a super saturated sugar solution before.

      Saturated at 100℃ is 490gms per 100mls or about 40 pounds per gallon. Most recipes call for 1 pound (2 cups) per gallon. A lot of people will double or triple that, but for it to be supersaturated at 0℃ you would still need about 15 pounds, so even taking it from boiling to iced, most people won’t be supersaturating it.

        Are you talking about 490g per 100ml or 490 gram meter seconds per 100 milliliter seconds?
