1250 +/- taps on 17-19" vacuum, only made 176.5 gal, compared to 334.8 gal last year on the same number of taps. I need to make enough to get a better vacuum pump in my bigger bush, so I can get 25"+. That's the bush that is at 17", the best that pump and motor can give, the 19" is on a vacuum tank and I don't dare go higher. That bush is only 409 taps and I'll likely stay with that set-up until after I've gone high vacuum on the bigger bush a year.

Reason: forgot what was left in canner
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.
