Are you going to single run the UJ?
What ABV will you be targeting with this set up?

HOLY HELL! 5 Plates now! Plus, is that your old 8" thumper at the bottom? Does that have bubble plates in it too?
You got your boiler insulated now too?

I've added an extra bubble tee and rebuilt the thumper, the thumper has a single 4" bubble cap .. bottom sight glass is to see bubbles & next one is to see liquid levels inside :dance:
Insulated boiler too :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Nice rig Mac...
One question though, how much do you drink ? :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
Even I'd have trouble keeping up with a rig like that :-D

What's your point?
it's only a 4" bubbler with a thumper, not a lot different to the one you were asking about building only a few months ago, except this one has an extra plate or two :think:
