Thumpers

[Crimson Cadaver]

Hi All,
I currently have a 2inch JayD Pot Still and 2inch JayD Boka on my 50L keg

Does anybody know where I could purchase a thumper keg?
My pot still runs amazingly, but I'm wondering if I could get the alcohol % up while maintaining all that delicious molasses flavour I love so much.

I'm not very handy to be welding my own. So if someone has one they're willing to sell, or know where I could purchase one would be a great help.

The only thing i've seen is a giant pickle jar thumper tutorial...which seems kind of bogus.

Thank you for reading!

hey mate i got stainless pots with stainless lids 3 in a pack from kmart for $25 used the middle size pot about 15l put 2 holes in lid and some compression fittings from bunnings and use wholemeal flour and water past to seal lid and a few clamps about 4 or 5 to hold lid down works a treat will make better clamps later :handgestures-thumbupleft: id post a pic but have trouble getting off my phone :handgestures-thumbdown:

Wowsers is it really that easy?

Do i have to modify my condenser a lot to fit the thumper?

i'm very noob to the thumper idea.

This is a cracker of a thumper, it's cheap, easy to make, has heaps of head space. It's ugly as a hatful of arseholes but it works a charm

[ozybottler]

not as ugly as myn :laughing-rolling:

i saw a few of them syrup kegs at a demolition yard the other week, $25 each, not bad i thought, especially for Townsville prices
