Whatever quantity of sugar you're using, adjust the water accordingly. At the 1:3 ratio, for 2 lb of sugar you'd use 11 oz (10.67) of water or a touch more. thats awesome information since almost all the high quality sugars come in 2 pound containers. The standard of RCS is born? 2 pounds sugar, 11 oz water. I have enough rcs to last awhile right now but next time I'll try that ratio. on another note, somebody said something about adding a little lemon juice. does that stop the rock candy from forming completely or what? I was curious what kind of things people put in besides water and sugar to keep really unstable batches from turning into bricks.
