Process sap and syrup
Sap to Syrup YieldFind how much syrup you'll get from your sap based on sugar content. Uses the Rule of 86; finished syrup at 66° brix.Use calculatorDilutionDetermine how much water to add to bring syrup to the desired density. For diluting with sap, use the density blending calculator.Use calculatorDensity BlendingBlend two syrups (or syrup and water/sap) to hit a target brix. Any volume unit works as long as it's consistent.Use calculator
Blend batches
Grade BlendingBlend by light transmittance % to reach a target grade. Use a Hanna meter; for best results, measure a 50/50 blend first.Use calculatorInvert BlendingBlend two syrups to hit a target invert sugar level for maple candy, cream, or other confections.Use calculatorDensity BlendingBlend two syrups (or syrup and water/sap) to hit a target brix.
