Production planning estimate
Plan around gallons of sap
A starting estimate is 0.025 gallons of syrup per gallon of sap. Work back from how much you go through in a year to see how much that takes to make.
What you'll need
— gallons of sap
Planning note: Sap is boiled down at a ratio of roughly 40 gallons to 1 gallon of finished syrup. A long, fuel-intensive process traditionally done outdoors over a wood fire.
