I've just bought 5 litre of active hydro wheat syrup and have not got a fridge. Is this stuff likely to blow open like csl or is there something I can do to calm it down . Or is there nothing to worry about ?

Indeed, there is machinery out there solving all these issues discussed. No excuses for the large companies.
Supplying constant quality is key nowadays.
I'm always surprised that companies find excuses for not providing equal quality batch to batch. Maybe I'm biased but the company I work for wouldn't have any customers left with the attitude of ccmoore replied to me.

I’ve had the fish hydro free from them a few times and it is very thick as said. Haven’t tried any other liquids from them but the fish hydro so couldn’t comment on any others.

Really? I've only had 1 bottle from them a few years ago and it was really thin and hardly had any smell to it.

Liquid rebottling on a regular product basis from IBC containers.
Surely the big companies must have this sussed out by now, and got machines to decant into smaller bottles.
Like a food mixer/cement mixer where it is a evenly mixed, then poured out into the smaller bottles.
Just a thought

The AA hydro fish is really thick, it gloops out of the container rather than pours and is as far from runny as I can describe. They give a litre free with my order, I’ve had at least 10 bottles in the last year and they have all been the same.

But when not only is it far thinner, a different colour and smells completely different something isn't right! Honestly comparing the 2 it's like they aren't even attempting to make it the same. Plus, I have 3 different hydros and all are absolutely piss thin. Are they all from the very top of a new container, or are they just being made thinner?! The squid hydro is literally like water. The krill they sent me by mistake is the same, and the liver is only the tiniest fraction thicker than water. I've been using the hydros from baf for years and they have always been consistent up until this order . The liver I have from my last order you can put in a pot and tip upside down and it doesn't just pour out , the new stuff you could suck through a straw if you wanted it's that thin.

Calanus by its nature is actually very thin.
Whilst I sell hydros thick as katie price, for my own fishing, if I need to fairly quickly ramp up the attraction of baits I'll mix it with some water ot thin it down and aid the penetration of a bait, once soaked in the last layer will usually be uncut stuff.
Essentially unless you have a long period the thicker hydros only penetrate about 1mm into the bait, and as I prefer saturated baits ( using thin liquids to make a very very soft feed bait ) I incorporate hydros this way.
depends on the situation but a thick liquid isnt always the worst thing.
Like smurf says even 25kg containers can be a pain to get consistent, especially as, to keep pricing down, I fill bottles to order from dispensing caps. fortunately my back hasn't properly destroyed me yet so I csan still shake them somewhat. but for things like shows, where we might make up 500 250ml bottles for session packs, I decant about 10kg at a time and keep it agigtated whilst filling.
Lastly on the subject of home made hydros its fairly uncomplicated

I used to buy various liquids (CSL, L030 etc) in 25l or bigger containers, this was 15 years ago. I then rebottled it to sell on. No matter how much you stir the container before you decant into 1/2 or 1l bottle it got thicker as you worked your way down the container. With the larger 1000l IBC containers that is probably worse, I can imagine what they said is the truth.
What are they supposed to do? Skim off and dump (at a huge cost for industrial waste) the top XX% and only sell the thicker stuff at the bottom? Who says thicker it better anyway? It's higher solids content but that might not be what attracts the carp 
I stopped selling bait well over 10 years ago. I now only make it for me and a few friends. I suffer with the variability of the products I sometimes buy just like the rest of you. I trust BAF (and CCMoore) to not be watering down the product so I use what they send, thick or thin, at the same weight in my boilie mixes.
I had some Calanus liquid last year. My pond fish really grub about for it like nothing else. That was very thick....everyone says its thin. So was my bottle 'duff' or just the very bottom of the bulk container  I do need to order some more soon as it's going in a bait I will be making again in August to pre-bait a local lake for the autumn fishing

To be fair they've already said they'll refund me the order. They seem very interested to see the difference for themselves , although I'm sure they know full well it's different already
