I have some other improvements/fixes I need to make to my evaporator, and limited time (baby!) So I will at least start the season with the other improvements but without the AUF. If time allows, I may add it mid-season. That'll give me an apples-to-apples comparison of what kind of improvement just that makes in boil rate.
