Dude that is extraordinary.
If you could ultimately get a retaining type set up like how Condensificator does his sight glass rims,,,,,your lil pussy (no offence intended) would look so,,,,,,,,,tight.
Dang. That sounded rather off. I do apologize.

Re: Pot still with hextopus thumper
Ok the wife just walked in and said when did you add the tit to the top of your thumper.
It amazed me that the wife knew what a thumper was. As far as the tit goes I think she knew what that was.
Thank god I didn't tell her it was dubbed a pussy or she would have questions for sure.

Re: Pot still with hextopus thumper
how bout just doing some slip on caps with the holes in em for the hectopus arms, that way you can take em off if you are working on the grain. i've definitely been spending some of my gear turning think time on a thumper pot. i really dig the flavor from the pot.MuleKicker wrote:

Re: Pot still with hextopus thumper
There is probably a supplier like this somewhere near you. It is always worth while checking out the steam boiler spares people.

Re: Pot still with hextopus thumper
I'd love to have that sight glass for whiskey runs. I can't see the foam until has puked.
This is a thing of beauty.
Make sure to post some pics with the new glass.

It's better to learn from other people's mistakes than your own.

Re: Pot still with hextopus thumper
Offtopic but what do you all mean by puke?
Re: Pot still with hextopus thumper
It means that the liquid contents (and/or foam) of your boiler, boil over up into the column, instead of just vapor.NGICA wrote:Offtopic but what do you all mean by puke?

Re: Pot still with hextopus thumper
Puking happens when you over charge the boiler,use too much heat for your column riser capacity.
Unfinished ferments can foam up real good.

Re: Pot still with hextopus thumper
Thanks go to Glassman for the fine pyrex on this one
Well got her running and have fine tuned the amount of juice to put in the thumper.
Made a nice lil worm coil bucket
I took a 1" rubber cork (hardware store) drilled a hole in it ran my worm coil out that and drilled the bucket and stuck thru the cork
The "candy cane" arms are tack soldered to keep the worm spiral in place.
Hook her up to my 2 1/2 gallon (10L) 1500 w internal coil stainless steel fire extinguisher boiler

Man that turned out to be a smart looking little rig.
Bet she'd do a really good job with Dnderhead's shortcut brandy trick. Bet you could dry charge with botonicals too.
