What's the parrot looking part?
As I run 4plates above thumper, it collects the liquid from the first plates down comer and directs it to the furthest point from the thumper's downcomer,kinda like how ya put the downcomers at opposite sides ,as ya go up,but the big diameter of the thumper compared to the 4inch still led me to doing that to maintain good cross flow ,for product processing and you donot want the high ABV comeing from your first plate flowing straight down the thumpers downcomer,leaving ya thumper less efficient at building and holding the ABV ,wich with a larger volume or diameter thumper may be more important than a smaller one,in my opinion.Yes copper mesh is there for the usual reasons Taste Taste and taste,I have to confess to getting a qualifyed welder to do all my TIG work ,I do all cutting and prep work often after sorceing SS bits from him or 5Star ,and Iam only 5mins from his owner operater workshop,its great relationship wich took 5years to develope from the first awrkward g-day mate can ya weld some stuff to my beer keg fa cash.Also could not have pulled it off without Macs and the forums inspiration and advice. cheers with a lovely double shot of rum. hillzabilly :D
