>>1448684>>1448704>i really want to try growing white rice indoorsIt is possible and yes that could work. If you have the room, use a plastic kiddie pool perhaps. If you do that, put some foam under it to prevent the floor from becoming cold and condensating which might cause water issues.
>how do you determine different grades of syrup?I don't since everything goes into the same pot and I only go up to 219F for the syrup. There are tons of tree species and types of maple trees that give sap that you can make syrup from. There's a, "Plants and Methods for Sugar, Syrup, & Molasses Making," section in the OP pastebin that has a link for like 27 different trees.
>is it just how it's refined?The source and the temperature are the main things. Temperature being the big one. The hotter it gets the thicker the syrup will be and it has a chance of caramelizing in some sections of the boiler which will add flavor and more color.
