Well I finally got all the pieces completed for my still conversion so I can use it as an essential oil still and then switch to an inline thumper still. I'll be doing a cleaning run tomorrow and have started a batch of rum that will be ready to run in8 to 10 days, I hope. Click on the pics for a larger version. Here are some pics of the conversion. These two pics are how the still is set up for essential oil production. [ATTACH=CONFIG]627[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]626[/ATTACH] These are the parts for converting to an inline thumper still These are the vapor tubes, down comer tube, copper nuts, and down comer base. [ATTACH=CONFIG]628[/ATTACH] This is a little closer look at the down comer base.

Thanks Scotty, can't wait to make a real run with it. It will only run 2 gallons at a time but that's all I need for trail batches.

Well I finally sqeezed in the time to make my Rum run with this new set up. Been real busy since Obama got re-elected.
The Inline Thumper Still worked out well and I ended up with some tasty 156 proof rum. Took awhile to run 6 gallons through 2 gallons at a time but it was well worth it.
I put 2 quarts of the mash into the thumper to add a little flavor back into the vapor and it seemed to help. As a controll I ran another batch of the same mash recipee through my PSII as a pot still and it seemed to be less flavorful. Not much less, but noticeable.
