What he said ^^^ makes me wish I hadn't passed up those 2 finned copper heater pipes a while back. I like building too, it's at least half the fun. The other half is being able to experiment with recipes and fine tune things and the other other half is getting to enjoy the fruits of your labor with something you have made completely and totally yourself. I like seeing the varieties of the stills the members here have, there is a lot of innovation going on.

Been theorizing on a mini thumper that is also set up as a column bottoms return. The goal being to flash off as much alcohol as possible that makes its way down a relatively short column.
Is that what you have in mind?

I figure why return more alcohol to the boiler than necessary. Dunno i my logic works. That and the piece of 4" for mini thump was already cut, hated to waste it

So here is a diagram of my thoughts for one of our rigs.
We were debating on putting an experimental rig into production to do a side by side and see what the outcome would be.
