This Essential Extractor Thumper is made from heavy gauge stainless steel, and is compatible with a 15-gallon kettle. We also have an 8-gallon-compatible thumper available. Distilling with a thumper will give you roughly the same finished product as running a pot distillation twice in order to increase proof and purity, which is why it can also be called a "doubler."
Features:
- Made from 304L gauge stainless steel
- 4" in diameter
- Approx. 31" in height
- Produces roughly the same finished product as running a pot distillation twice
Thumper Includes:
- Diffusion screen to diffuse the incoming vapor, decreasing condensing time and improving thumper performance
- 4" Clamp
- 4" Gasket
- Attachments for the kettle or condenser (selected from drop-down above as needed)
Condenser Add-On Includes:
- 1/2" Clamps
- 1/2" Gaskets
- Liebig Condenser with ferrule
Kettle Connector Add-On Includes:
- 1/2" Clamps
- 1/2" Gaskets
- 2" or 3" kettle connection
- NOTE: The Kettle Connector Add-on does not come with a (2" or 3") tri-clamp or gasket because most people who order this already have a tri-clamp and gasket. If you do not already have a 3" tri-clamp with gasket, or a 2" tri-clamp with gasket, depending on the size of your kettle connection, please remember to purchase them separately.
Recommendations:
- A thumper is used in place of a distillation column and does not attach to any column. The thumper goes between the kettle and the condenser and acts as a distillation column itself.
