Essential Extractor Thumper for 15 Gallon Kettle

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.
