Yes, I have done that also and it does work.
However, the method that works best and easiest for me is to whip the
fumagillin with warm water in a blender. Fill the blender container less
than half full of water to allow for the foaming. I can do a big bottle of
fumagillin in four blenders of water. I put two bottles in a 1000 litre
tank of sugar syrup after it cools. I never see a trace of any after the
foam clears, so I assume it is completely dispersed.
It goes almost TOO easy. It only takes fifteen minutes to dissolve two
hundred dollars worth :) It takes considerably longer to dissolve the 800
kg. of sugar (about $700 worth this fall).
I am very impressed with the strength of the low geared agitator motors on
milk tanks. They are able to mix a large paddle through a thick sugar
slurry. In fact, on a couple of occasions the points on my milk tank (that
I use for milk) stuck and all the milk froze solid. Both times I was
awakened in the night by the noise of the tank lid clanging. The stirrer
was still going around scraping in a hole in the milk ice.
