What is a Thumper

[gavogr]

Hi all as the title Says What is a Thumper and how are they used.
I have been searching around for some good basic newbie info so i can understand what they are and how they work.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Basically it works as a secondary still, the vapour from the main boiler heats up the wash in the thumper and then the distillation process is repeated. so in effect you are doing a stripping run and a spirit run all in 1 go.

not sure if this is relevant or not but.......viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4082
