Hi,

To avoid separating we freeze ours in plastic 1 liter containers as soon
as it is cooled.  Seems to be nicer that way after long storage too.

We just save 1 liter yogurt or cottage cheese containers.

To make bigger batches, you are going to have to use commercial equipment.

We buy maple syrup in 5 gallon containers, and out of season that is
frozen too (we buy locally).

Best of luck.

Regards,
Tom
