I don't know when to stop. Haha.

 

It's basically just for fun and show how one can make it. The hardware (one of those magnetic stirrers) I have is really not made for fluids with high viscosity so I can only have like 5% starch in the mixture. I'm using alpha-amylase and glucoamylase. I think glucose syrup is one of those things that you're better off buying from a large scale manufacturer. :D

But I do understand the need to make it just once to prove it can be done!

 

Why don't you make the really high viscosity solution, bung it in the sous vide at 80 degrees for the time required - taking it out and squeezing once in a while?
