Has anyone had any experience with the new Sugarhill containers that use a label instead of direct printing on the jug? We have had issues with the label wrinkling after bottling hot syrup. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
New Sugarhill Containers
Has anyone had any experience with the new Sugarhill containers that use a label instead of direct printing on the jug? We have had issues with the label wrinkling after bottling hot syrup. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
I haven't had any issues with that. I did have a whole case of 1/2 gallon that had bubbles when I took them out of the box. Also had 1 quart that the label was folded in half right in the middle. My wife says I should save all the bad ones and return them and ask for a refund. So far they don't appear to be muck worse than the printed which have a bad jug every 1000 or so.
Not yet. I do wish they hadn't changed though, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sugarhill has a new owner, that might be a change brought on by the bean counters.
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.
Friend had some wrinkle at the seem when left in sugar house after freeze/thaw.

Or is it a way to force you to get your own printing on the bottle. The bottles are cheaper by the last I checked there was about a $500 setup cost.
