Good day yesterday. Brought home 970 gal and Sean brought over another 150. Haven't tested sugar yet...digital refractometer's currently AWOL. Made somewhere between 20-30 gal last night. Between the two nights, we filled a keg, fill 10 gal in containers, and left syrup in the canner. Sugarhouse is running smooth. Vac. is holding steady at 23" and pump is working fine other than the lower than I'd like vacuum levels.

Thanks Brad. Will check it out. I have some old filter press hose that I was thinking of using. Also, I tried your idea of wetting the press papers when putting the press back together...works great. First time I'd heard of that.
