    Lots of people bring their brix up into the 20's and 30's before boiling. It all depends on the quality of your process and RO. I personally bring my sap up to between 10-15% before I start boiling...

    What MaineBackWoodsSyrup said.

    Best advice I can give is just know what you are hooking it to. Shurflo sells adapters up to 3/4" for the input port. Other than that you need to decide your power...
