Hi Chris and all

In Canada, white sugar is sold in 2kg bags.  If you pour the contents  
of the bag into a 2 litre measuring cup, it fills it exactly.   
Because 2 litres of water weighs 2 kg, a 2:1 syrup recipe would  
consist of 2 2kg bags of white sugar mixed into 2 litres of water  
yielding 6 kg of syrup.  My point is that water and white sugar are  
of equal mass regardless of the measuring system used.
