What is the bet thing to put in the thumper keg. If it’s filling up I’m guessing your puking your still so bubbly wash is coming all the way up your column, instead of just vapor. A thumper keg is a container used as a location for secondary distillation. That process will inherently leave behind some water.Īlternatively, a slobber box is a safety measure to protect from boil overs making it all the way to the condenser and collection vessel. The whole point of a thumper is to cause condensation and secondary evaporation increasing the abv of your output. There’s will be an increase in volume through the run, but not fill up. Its easy, quick to assemble, and doesnt cost much to put together.
