So I am in the process of building the RO listed on the link below. I've seen lots of people talking about it on this site and feel pretty confident it should easily be able to meet my needs. However, I tapped 30 Black Walnut trees this last year with very positive results with sap yield, taste, and sugar content. As a result of this I am planning on tapping more Black Walnut trees. And this is where my question comes in. Do you think the RO would be able to run it? Have any of you ever done it? With running maple and walnut through the RO should I on the bottling end slap a sticker on my maple syrup about nut allergies? Thanks for any help or thoughts on this.

If it were me I wouldn't use the same equipment for the walnut that I do for maple.

Thanks for the info. My initial plan was to keep everything separate but I'm only going to build one RO. So now i'm thinking i'll just RO the Maple and thats it. Thanks again for the help.
