I'm still going, likely will boil my last batch today. No final count yet but it won't be as high as it should have, had vacuum problems and a big tapping issue when one crew failed to open the main line valves on about 275 taps. With the vacuum pump issue it wasn't discovered for a week, while I kept trying to get the vacuum resolved. Once that was fixed the valve issue was found the same day.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
Good sap to syrup ratio Johnny. Our final count was 260 gallons of syrup off 700 taps. I'll take it. Turned off the vacuum Monday when the sap flow stopped. Vacuum has been off since then but sap was running pretty good today on gravity. Reflection for the year - RO concentrate foams a whole lot more than raw sap.
