What's in your Thumper

Post by MihiT »

Just wondering how most people are running their thumpers. Spose it depends on what you're aiming for, but who knows, there might be some clear consensus.
Cheers.

What NZChris said. And I use my thumper for a lot of purposes, so one time I fill it with grain, then with fruit pulp, then with water, then with low wines. So I can not fill in your form.

It varies... If running a Brandy I will shoot the thumper with fruits and puree...If running a strip UJSSM I will fill the thump (2nd boiler) with wash.
On a spirit run I will fill the boiler with something that will add character and flavors...Sometimes the wash, or maybe Cinnamon, Vanilla, botanicals for a hybrid "gin" Endless really... Use your imagination.

Have fun and be safe!

stripping run, it gets fresh mash/wash.
spirit run, it gets feints and singlings
