Even though I have kept expanding my tap count most years, I have had to buy bulk about 4 of my last 10 seasons. I do the density checking, flavor checking, proper packaging and I stand behind it. My name is thus on the label. If anyone asks I tell them that I sometimes have to buy high quality syrup to meet my sales demand.
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.
