"Since I like making triple distilled Irish style whiskey, will 2 thumpers in series with my pot rig accomplish this??? I'm tempted to get a couple of gallon mason jars and take the hack saw to the liebig condenser and install the thumpers in the line.
I really don't like re distilling."

"Scotty,
Take a look at some sanitary fittings that you can attach to the lower section of your column (or directly to the sanitary fitting on your boiler). There are also a variety of ferrules that you might be able to work with. I also saw a thread somewhere (on another forum) that described a hand-made copper ferrule for a sanitary fitting. You might be able to glomb something together without having to hack through stainless steel.:)

Hi Scotty, no need to hack the condenser, just mount a piece of copper pipe to the end of it with a compression fitting and run it to your thumpers. No cooling water is needed to the condenser on th BH still just after the thumpers.

My old still has a thumper and I love it. Having two would be awesome. I've seen a design where the jars sat side besides and the vapor went from one to the other with less space taken up. My condenser is right after the thumper. It's a pot still only.

Yes pot still only. I have seen that design but that mfg has a very bad rep. Ill ask rick to make something and have it welded or clamped into my brewhaus pot still"

Ill ask rick to make something and have it welded or clamped into my brewhaus pot still This is why I building a new still. I quit using the old one for now and when I can make the proper corrections I might use it again. I'm going with a 15.5 gal keg and I'll have Rick put two 3" fittings in a top of his premium 8 gal pot with a tube on one of them that goes to the bottom. This will be my thumper when I want to use it. it'll be sized correctly too but it'll only be a single thumper.
