Pot Still with Thumper

Postby MacStill » Sat Apr 30, 2011 11:16 am

Here's my latest creation, it's a 2" column with a 10L thumper and Graham condenser, the thumper is made from a chunk of 8" that I got spare from another build I'm about to embark on.

I wanted this rig versatile and compact, and also the thumper can be removed so the graham can replace it for stripping wash.

You part fill it with wash that gets injected with steam once it all heats up, kinda like double distilling in one run but retaining maximum flavor ;)
