Good to know
Here's an experiment worth running: put a 3 gallon copper thumper after your first one and see what an extra round of reflux does to your spirit. This thumper comes with a 1/2-inch copper tubing cross bar already fitted, so tying in a second thumper is simple. We build it from sturdy 22-gauge, lead-free copper and seal every joint by hand so it holds up run after run. A second copper vessel also gives copper more contact with the vapor, and copper naturally cleans sulfur compounds out of it.
What does a second thumper do?
Each thumper gives the vapor another chance to condense and boil again. Doubling up increases reflux, which helps separate the heads and tails. You get a cleaner, smoother spirit and more flavor from each pass.
- Cross bar included: 1/2-inch copper tubing, ready to link a second thumper.
- Check the fit: this thumper is made to add to an existing setup. To confirm it matches your still's connections, contact us before you order.
- Material: durable 22-gauge copper, soldered by hand for a long working life.
- Care: flush the thumper after each run and dry it well.
Owning the equipment is legal in the US. If you plan to make whiskey, rum or moonshine, you'll need federal TTB permits first. Many hobbyists also add thumpers to setups they use for distilled water or essential oils.
