(however, I haven't managed one with 12.0 brix yet.)
I have not gone much above 8 yet so many ways to improve. But my other produce- carrots, peppers, zukes, eggplants are just dehydrating and drying from long storage- little to no rotting at all.
Carrots were uber sweet compare to store ones.
I spend late summer on canning- we just do not buy tomatoes till new season is in. Guess it is habit I grew up with.
