Pot still design and discussion

Bryan's Inline Thumper

Well as the topic is on my thumper where my pot still leans a bit :laughing-rolling:

Time to put a few things to rest as thing rocks :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Now the thumper holds about a litre of liquid and with taking samples when the cut jar is due just letting it cool for a bit shows it's 10% below the ABV :handgestures-thumbupleft:

So lets take this into the equation the higher fractions are moving thru where the lower fractions are kept in the thumper.

When I was doing the strip runs I took a sample from the drain of the thumper and found as the ABV went down it was around 10% lower than the ABV.

I did talk with the Stig about this a year or so ago so mate I'm sure a glass thumper should be on the cards :handgestures-thumbupleft:
