I was wondering if any buddy knows were to get a chart that shows the gallons of sap to a gallon of syrup in the sugar content from 1.2% -3%
Thanks Philip Kasza

We were just talking about this on another thread. It's called Jones' rule of 86. Divide the sap concentration into 86 to get the approximate number of gallons of sap needed for a gallon of syrup. So if your sap is 2% then you'll need about 43 gallons of sap/gallon of syrup.
