Would a t500 with an alembic dome in pot still mode, benefit from the addition of a thumper and if so has anyone done it or know where to go to buy the materials to do it.

No one makes one as far as I am aware.....you would have to gather up the materials / parts and build it.

Thanks Bill, a sensible answer. Sourcing the thumper would be a breeze, but the question was would it be a beneficial addition to my equipment, given the fact that i have a 25l boiler and reflux column for refluxing the spirit run after the copper potstill has stripped out everything. I was considering a thumper to improve the distillate before the reflux got to work.

It wouldnt be worth it if you intend refluxing afterward.
