Low wines into a thumper keg

[Yummyrum]

People still use thumpers?

Yessir , just getting mine ready for a Rum spirit run while the plated column sits forlorn in the corner of the shed .

BTW , I’ve got Low wines and tails from previous run in Boiler and heads from previous run in thumper.

So, how's the project going?

Personally, I'd go with an 'inline vertical thumper' A.K.A. a column. a 3-4 inch diameter by 36" long column stuffed with copper or stainless scrubbers should perform at least as well as a thumper, if not, better.

How does a packed column deliver more flavor then a thumper. I can't see passive reflux delivering more flavor then a thumper.

Oh, I use thumpers very often.
15 L-10-L-10L vessels with 14-3-3 L of TFFV, as a one-and-done run.
10 L-15 L vessels with 9 L water and 8 L of fruitpulp. Or a grainpulp.
15 L-10 L-10 L vessels with 12-2-2 L of melasse wash; diluted low wines; diluted high wines for making ru

The best thing I did (stillingwise) was making a one-hole-thumper-T.

I love thumping one hole! (sorry couldn't resist...)

If I'm reading your message correctly, you're pushing 2 thumpers??? Have you seen the double thumper threads? Good stuff there. Haggy has some excellent intel.

I've been messing with double thumpers on a couple runs myself recently...
