Dilution calculator

Find how much water to add to bring syrup to the desired density. For diluting with sap, use the density blending calculator.

Current brix must be higher than desired brix.

How it works

Sugar mass is conserved: C_initial × V_initial = C_final × V_final. So water to add = V_initial × (C_initial − C_final) / C_final. This is for water only; use density blending for sap.
