It’s a beautiful day
Hi everyone! I’ve been following along from a distance and figured it’s time to jump in the rabbit hole. Live in the upper Midwest and am planning on building a 6 gal pot still to make whiskey and rum. Maybe add a thumper down the road. True ly enjoy building and creating. I’d like to start with a 1500 watt, 120 volt heating element as I feel more comfortable with elect instead of an open flame in a basement. Every time I think I’m ready the next 15 minutes of reading convinces me otherwise. I’ve read enough to know I have a lot more reading ahead.

Welcome, also in my signature page I have a link with suggestions on how to organize the information as there is so much and when you need something it is nice to be able to go directly to the source for the information.

Hi how’s it going? I’m planning on building a small 1.5 gallon thumper out of .032 copper. Any advise on the build like how to bend it. The use of rivets for the seam? Cutting the tabs and bending them to hold the bottom-soldering? ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED!!
Re: It’s a beautiful day
You should start closer to the 15 gallon beer keg route.
Cuts will be easier to make, and you will get there anyhow !

The OP is 2 years old, and the only post he ever made. I don't think he's going to get your reply.
Fear and ridicule are the tactics of weak-minded cowards and tyrants who have no other leadership talent from which to draw in order to persuade.
