Happy Birthday Ron. I finally hung up my drill and tapping hammer. Too hard to walk in the woods with snow covering things. But, I'm not old like Ron, I won't be 75 til October.
I plan to buy bulk and continue selling for a few years. This year so far I've bought 2 barrels at 30 gal amber, and 3 barrels at 30 gal, dark. I already have about 50 gal dark packed and had 1 barrel 30 gal dark carryover. I think that will do fine for this year.
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.
