Bulk syrup changes
Yesterday I received a note from Countryside Hardware, in DeRuyter, NY that starting in 2018 they will not buy bulk syrup in any barrels under 30 gal. They said their end buyer will not take the smaller sizes. They also will not accept partial barrels.
While I only sell bulk if I end up with any commercial syrup, I had recently sold all but 3 of my 30-40 gal bbls in favor of the Inovaweld 26.5 gal barrel. It just works so much better for me. I had intended to put my last 2 @30gal and one @40 gal in the VVS auction. I guess I'll need to keep them in case I end up making any commercial.
Has anyone else heard about other bulk buyers refusing smaller size barrels?
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.
