A 25% mix (verified with a refractometer in experienced hands) will protect from "burst" down to zero Fahrenheit or so. If you plan on shutting down the heat system and/or pumps here in frosty Minnesota you will want a 30% solution affording you burst protection down to -20°F, our mean extreme.

Push it up a little and you can melt snow!
