Yummy's Thumper build

Post by Yummyrum »

Some of you might have already seen some pics of this around here and elsewhere .

With the common 2" keg thumper connection the feed from the Boiler comes in the top and the take off is out the side . This common arrangement is easy to make but it limits the Thumper as to what it can connect to ...usually just a Product condenser .

By contrast this variation will allow any still head to be connected as the output is out the top .I'm sure I saw it some where else :thumbup:

It was a bitch to make.
I had to chop up a few fittings so that they would fit concentrically...no biggy but had to be done .

I Brazed the 2"-1" reducer to the 1" 90 bend so at least that wouldn't fall apart when I soft soldered the rest

Cleaned it all up ready to soft solder the copper bits .

Soldered on the Staino Tri-clamp ferrules and the thump pipe

Already for a test :thumbup:
