Dry sugar, or a syrup the maker has measured. A syrup brings its own water,
and "2:1" means different things in different bars, so we take the strength
in °Bx. A refractometer reads °Bx directly, and it converts to sugar and
water through the same Plato relation as the sugar volume.
The form the sugar is added in.
