A thumper is a secondary chamber connected to a pot still that enables double distillation in a single run. It uses hot vapor from the main boiler to re-distill low-proof alcohol, increasing the final ABV, improving purity, and enhancing flavor. It can also be used for infusing fruit flavor or other flavors to the distillate.
Key Features and Functions:
Process: Vapors from the main pot travel to the thumper, condensing into a liquid, which is then reheated by the steam to vaporize again before reaching the final condenser.
Benefits: It eliminates the need for a separate second distillation run (stripping run) and allows for flavoring by adding fruits or botanicals directly into the thumper vessel.
Efficiency: It produces a higher purity product (higher proof) compared to a single-pot distillation.
