Did you open it?

Hi, just wondering how your business is going so far. Did you have a store front or a cart?

Well any good news?

Guess she isn't doing snow cones

Now they have something called preservative. I add 1oz of preservative per gallon of simple syrup.

Yes, I want to start my own business like him so I know

Yes but I don’t know the powder measurements.

That is a quart size bottle

I’m not sure what you would use to make it shelf stable. Another option is to mix it without preservatives and refrigerate it

Yes i will try to get one on in the next few days.

@@thehaddocks thank you so much!

I like hypothermias for shave ice bottles. You can get them on eBay or through their website.

Id like to know as well. Did you purchase any yet?

Yes I believe that is what is in their preservative.

The containers are made by berry plastics. The company I used to get them from is out of business. I’ve seen them on Amazon but if you can find a place that sells a whole case you would be better off.

Half the price of snowie and tastes great.

The Haddocks ok ty

Depends on temperature. Ours stand is in an air conditioned building. It will last all season and some.

Good Price and more flavors to choose from.

Thank's for the info.

We don’t anymore. We just use there preservative.

@@thehaddocks appreciate the reply! Watched all your shaved ice videos numerous times lol

Does using the preservative cancel out using the fruit acid and b. Soda?

No benzoate is enough

I haven’t had this problem. Have you tried contacting southern snow.

I havent yet. Im using generic walmart sugar, one oz of B.soda and a 1/4 oz fruit acid... maybe its the cheap sugar? Also. Do you have a recipe for sugar free simple syrup? Im having a real hard time finding bulk nutra sweet and wondering if theres a good formula for splenda or steeva

Yes

Some do have citric acid. Some don’t. Also your simple syrup won’t be shelf stable without citric acid.

It's like a popsicle its diluted by the ice.

Yes same thing

Trying to find this out too. 30 yrs pharmacy and I feel like you'd just divide the recipe into 1/2, 1/4 etc

We make a 2-4gallons a day.

With citric acid and sodium benzoate it can be stored for up to a year.

Preservative to make it shelf stable

Yes

I Figure its less than a dollar per quart so less than four dollars per gallon.

Is critic acid and fruit acid, the same thing??

Yes they are the same. You just need the sodium benzoate as a preservative

I don’t think the 1/4oz per gallon of syrup makes it sour

So you believe I should get the fruit acid?? Tried ordering the fruit acid cause I came back to your video but they had already shipped out my order. But shipping is outrageous with minimum $35

One more question. How long does your syrup last after mixing everything together. Water, sugar, sodium benzoate and flavor??

Yes 10 cups of Sugar, 1/4 oz citric acid, 1 oz sodium benzoate.

Yes you can make simple syrup with just water and sugar. The citric acid and sodium benzoate make it shelf stable. If you don’t add them the syrup will go bad pretty quickly.

Mine is thick. It takes a few hours for all the syrup to dissolve into the water.

1oz per quart

Is the syrup real thick? Also why not use cornstarch to make it thick.

Just until the sugar is dissolved you will know when the simple syrup is clear

Southern snow. This video shows where I buy everything for my shave ice business: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6d3n6-Ts7qcm4U.html

@Fuert Neigt without the preservatives it would need to be kept cold at all times to prevent any bacteria buildup. That is the purpose of the soda additive.

I never have. If you shake it well by the next day it is completely dissolves.

I don’t but I do believe letting it sit at least a day helps all the sugar dissolve. Shaking it works for us. Thanks

Southern snow

Four quart bottles or like 3 and a half

I haven’t

@@thehaddocks i been teying to figure out how to make adult shaved ice.

Here is a video of where I buy everything kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6d3n6-Ts7qcm4U.html

I think it should work just fine.

Yes

Add ingredients listed and then fill the rest with water until it makes 1 gallon.

No, If you put sodium benzoate and citric acid they make it shelf stable.

Thank you!

@@thehaddocks for how long ?~

Southern Snow

Amazon

What do you mean? How much does it save me vs buying already made syrup?

@@thehaddocks kind of , like does it really change the profit margins vs worth the time ?

@@sbrsportsbook4358 Yes it hardly takes any time plus the main benefit is the quality. Your customers will taste the quality difference. You will sell more concentrate on quality and value of product.

@@thehaddocks I live in Illinois . Im wondering if you think the flavoring is as good as the fancy Hawaiian Shaved Ice brand. Like do you think it will be exactly as pure, but cheaper just because Southern Snow Spends less on their marketing and more on the taste quality of their products. Also , shipping will have to be worthwhile, this link below they offer free shipping on orders of over 100 www.hawaiianshavedice.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiA99vhBRBnEiwAwpk-uKoFRp_5NUOJqdZIMbXCe_a0x63KhA6wI3CwYqCS7YLMdYVk-nsoPhoC_KIQAvD_BwE

oooops , wrong site, I meant this site www.1-800-shaved-ice.com/shaved-ice-flavors.html Thanks

Hypothermias

Just cane sugar

Yes we do really well with the shave ice side. Because of our lower shave ice prices we bring more traffic into our shop. The shave ice also has excellent margins and where my only expenses are labor, cups and syrups we do well. The shave ice area only takes up about 70 square feet of the 2000 square feet. During slow times we only need 1 person to run both the store and the shave ice side. During summer we have 1 person on each side.

@@thehaddocks could u survive with shaved ice business alone? Thanks

@@prettypumpkin6891 No, I would need probably 4 stands to make a good living. It is good extra money. I'm not involved as much as i used to be so i make a little less but it is pretty automated now.

Womp womp

We make our own syrups to have a better quality product.

What exactly do you think Italian soda syrup from the store is made of? Sugar, water, flavorings & preservatives - just like he made! 😶😐😩

@@mizzpoetricssometimes high fructose syrup is used instead of sugar.

@@thehaddocks Can I ask where you purchase your supplies from?

With sodium benzoate they can last at least a few months.

I believe RTU syrup is shelf stable and has preservatives

Thanks

The Haddocks you're welcome

I haven’t. I’ve always used liquid preservatives from southern snow.

The sugar thickens it up to the right consistency. Our ice is really fluffy so we actually have more trouble getting the syrup to go all the way to the bottom. We poke holes in the ice so the syrup can make it all the way to the bottom.

@@thehaddocks Thank you very much. Great channel. Blessings. 🙏👍☘️

Yes we have a couple flavor options that are sugar free. It doesn’t sell as much as sugar but it is nice to have the option for those who need it.
