I believe you. Another member from LA made gumbo at a couple GTGs in MO. All day process and it was off the charts good. The members looked like a pack of wolves eating that stuff.

I’m just practicing making high octane racing fuel for when they finally ban all forms of combustion engines.

So the first tank after the boiler is to collect any water that boils off the mash so you get higher concentration alcohol final product?

Kinda. The second tank is a thumper keg. Mash goes in the copper pot, a gallon of backings (the tail end of the last run, approximately 50 proof) goes in the stainless keg. Alcohol vapor boils off the mash and travels through the pipe to the thumper, which has an inlet line that is below the surface of the backings liquid, where it condenses to liquid again. Eventually the steam from the pot causes the liquid in the thumper to start boiling so that you get a second distillation. The steam leaves the thumper and travels to the worm which for mine is a 50’ long coil of 5/8 copper line twisted in a 50 gallon barrel of water. It condenses back to liquid and runs out the bottom distilled. With a good starting corn and sugar wash that has an alcohol percentage of 18% I can see 190 proof on the first couple jars, and collect over 4 gallons of distillate from 20 gallons of mash. I stop collecting for drinking and blending purposes at 70 proof. Everything lower goes into the next batch or in the thumper. Sorry that’s super long winded.

That’s what I was picturing thanks for making it more clear. Nice setup!

Not much simpler than that except not using a "Thumper" but that would be silly

Nice setup....in what almost seems like a different life, I did a little of that myself.
