US Gallons / Imperial Gallons / Litres

[Swingpure]

I was struggling a little bit with measurements. A lot of the maple syrup measuring metrics are in US gallons such as how efficient an evaporator is (gallons per hour), or how many gallons per cords of wood, reporting how much sap you collected, etc.

I wondered how much I would have to convert Imperial Gallons into US gallons for things like the Canadian Tire 5 gallon pail, or the Toronto Brewery graduated kettle.

Turns out they are all in US gallons. The Canadian Tire 5 gallon pail is 19L which is 5 US gallons. I suspect the CDL 2 gallon bucket is US gallons. My finishing pot is also in US gallons.

So no need to worry, a gallon is a gallon.
