Collecting Sap

Logging a collection

1. Open the collection screen from the dashboard or the collections tab.
2. Select the tap you collected from.
3. Enter the volume collected.
4. Optionally enter a Brix reading for that collection.
5. Save the entry.

You can log multiple collections per tap per day. Each entry is recorded separately.

Backdating collections for pulled taps

You can log collections for taps that have already been pulled, as long as the collection date falls between the tap’s install date and pull date. When you change the date in the collection modal, the available tap list updates automatically to show taps that were active on that date.

Brix readings

Brix readings are optional but enable per-collection syrup estimates using the Rule of 86. If no Brix reading is provided, the app uses the species-specific default Brix shown on the tree card.

Moving a collection to a different date

If you log a collection on the wrong date, you can move it after saving. Open the collection entry and change the date. The dashboard will update accordingly.

Syrup estimates

The app calculates estimated syrup output per collection using the Rule of 86: divide 86 by the sap Brix to get the gallons of sap needed per gallon of syrup. Tap the syrup amount on the dashboard for a volume breakdown in gallons, quarts, pints, cups, and fluid ounces.
