Trying to build a thumper
Hey fellers, do ya think it will work if I come frome the keg with 2" right into the center of my existing still head and use my old set-up as a thumper. I guess my question is will the pipe being in the center block the vapor path because the lyne arm is located on the side. Thanks in advance

Re: Trying to build a thumper
running the 2" down the center shouldn't be a problem ... my question is, how big is that old boiler ? ....thumper should be 1/4 - 1/2 the size of the boiler.

The old boiler has a 5gal capacity. Will that be enough and if so, how much should I charge it with?
