So the thumper will be large enough.

Is there any need for a drain?

So being ever so dull what is that diagram telling me to charge the thumpers with, is it produce distilled from a strip run in the first thumper and produced distilled from a spirit run in the second thumper or is it tails then heads? What does the ratio refer to, is it 1 part low wine to 1 part water and 3 parts high wine to 1 part water or is it a ration of wines to wash?

Sorry perhaps these are just silly newbie questions!


Thanks

Captain.

depends how you want it. like meat said if you charge it with wash it will hold more flavour, water less and low wines will give it a lower boiling point.

This would be a good place to start reading :handgestures-thumbupleft:

High wines is heads low wines is tails. You would need to do a few runs to get your stock of heads and tails.
You get them by doing cuts. Collect in small amounts then use taste and smell to seperate heads/hearts/tails. Read kiwis stillers guide in beginners section well tell you what's what.

Remember that high and low wines in this instance is caribean terminology, not aussie or American. We call everything from a strip run low wines. So don't get the two confused :handgestures-thumbupleft:

In caribbean terminology high wines is the beginning of a spirit run and low wines is the end. Hope it makes sense.

Dunder could also be used for flavour adding.

Meatheadinc what sort of flavour does dunder add, is it same sort of flavour as doing gens? Am i right in thinking that so long as thumper is big enough just add some wash to thumper in first run then run multiple rum/whiskey washs through it, all washs after initial will be pushing vapour through dunder?(making sure not to overfill the thumper)
