    I talked to Janis at the NH Dept of Ag Markets and Food last week. She told me I could go ahead and order new labels and jugs with grade info printed on them. She didn't say when the new grades go into effect. I assumed they start Jan 1 2015. Remember there is a one year grace period when old labels with the old grades can still be used. So the way I understand it we can start using the new system pretty much right away and we have a year from now to use up old grade labels.

    As I read the grading law from the above link, it looks like between now and 1/1/16 you can use either, as of 1/1/16 you must use the new grading stds. That is essentially what NY is, except, we must start packing under the new grades as of 1/1/15, but we can still sell any old grade packed prior to 1/1/15 that is on our shelves. Once we get to 1/1/16 all must be using new grading system.
    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.
