My house smells like maple syrup...

That makes a bit more sense, but that's still a pretty bizarre way to talk about ratios. It's also maple sap, not maple water, so when he talks about "boiling off 40 parts of water" it's hard to say if he means water from the sap or the sap itself, which he refers to as "maple water".

here is the answer:

During processing, called sugaring-off, the sap is fed automatically from a storage tank through a valve into a flat pan called an evaporator where the sap boils down until so much water is lost that it forms a sweet syrup. The process is slow, because of amount of water that must be boiled off. Approximately 40 litres of sap must be boiled down to make one litre of maple syrup (i.e., 39 litres of water must be boiled off).

the sugar bushes here are now open for tours.

Mmmm, fresh syrup.

One of the big producers of pure maple syrup in this area imports their sap from Canada. They're charging $52 - $55 a gallon. One of my students at school - his family and 2 other families get together on their farms and produce a huge amount of syrup. Last night (he told me), they made 100 gallons of syrup. $30 per gallon... I'm getting 3

Once long ago in an age when men were men and women were women, it was said that when a home that smells of maple syrup comes to bear, the time of the lumberjacks is upon us!!

Dr. ATOT says you have maple syrup urine disease.

Maybe there is a zombie maple syrup disease baby peeing in our walls.

:laugh:

That's funny.

mmm I love real maple syrup. Grade A Dark Amber. I can pour a little on my finger and eat it and do that for awhile before I decide it's probably not a good idea since it's not cheap. I rarely buy it myself because I rarely make pancakes, since my apartment is also a dorm environment and I still have a meal plan. But mmmm, real maple syrup is delicious. I so want to try fresh maple syrup. I actually want to get some fresh maple taffy made in the fresh snow. I need to buy a bottle if it snows again and boil it and make some myself.

Boo-yah, told ya bitches. 40 parts pure water evaporated per 1 part maple syrup.

Dr Pizza, that wasn't for you. You, for the most part, defended what I said. I have been in a sugar shack in New York while the maple syrup was a-brewin'.

Just stop, your brain is not cut out for this:

Approximately 40 litres of sap must be boiled down to make one litre of maple syrup (i.e., 39 litres of water must be boiled off).

I was told, in the sugar shack, "We boil off 40 gallons of water to get 1 gallon of syrup."

The Sugar Shack? It sounds like a happy-place. But we (including you) were talking about the data provided in Iron Woode's post.

Nothing is concrete as Dr Pizza has stated. 40:1 may work for the syrup at one local, but not for another. And if they are trying to make Grade A Dark Amber, versus a different density for a different ranking on the scale, then a different amount of water will need to be boiled off from the sap to produce the syrup they want.

There was a cloud monster on Star Trek that smelled really sweet like that, then it sucked all the red blood cells out of your body.

So, if you see a cloud coming at you...I don't know....get out or something.

Unless you want your red blood cells to go that is, then by all means stay.
