Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.
I have made my second run with a pot still using a thumper. First time I noticed that amount of liquid in the thumper increased during the run. The second time I decided to measure and found that there is a 8 cup increase.
Any suggestions to remedy this. I was thinking to shorten the arm length between the boiler and the thumper.
