="rumdidlydum"]I'm far from an expert but the runs i have done so far have showed that pre charging does have an effect on flavour, depending on your run strategy.
If you pre charge with dunder, bleed you fores, the heads can be very strong smelling of dunder. By the time you get to your heart cut you still have an amount of dunder influenced smell, but nowhere near as much, ( keeping in mind the longer it reflux's the more dunder you loose back into the boiler, diluting the precharge.
I'm still learning how to run it and picking up its quirks in operation though.
Good fun. :D

Wouldn't the direct heat from the boiler boil off your initial charge though? It would have a lower boil point than your wash.

It could do mate, I'm trying to find more info on inline thumpers.
I would imagine that you wouldn't charge your thumper with a higher abv than what's in your boiler, so strip runs would be 13%/13%, spirit 40%/40%, that way the boiling Temps are similar.
Hard to find decent information on them, all the yanks seem to do is make old school Mason jar thumpers and slobber boxes :handgestures-thumbdown:
