You do realize that it's really difficult to make any sense out of posts that have little or no punctuation, don't you? ;)

Anyway.........the syrup in the ice bath will lower the freeze point of the bath enough to freeze the carbonated water.

Fix the syrup leak, change the bath water and all should be back to normal......unless of course it's something else altogether. ;)

hi, sorry about pun. not very good at this. about how much would this lower the freeze point, this is puzzling? thanks ken

That's much easier to read and understand. Thanks

The sugar in solution lowers the freezing point of the sugar/water solution below 32 Deg F. The more sugar there is, the lower the freezing point. You'd have to call Sodadude or Len to get the straight poop on that. They're Coke guys......they know about Brix numbers and stuff.
