Building a 5 Gallon Thumper

[@wookieecantina]

Mad soldering skills! WOW! Love to see more videos with audio walk-through.

[@henryverrydt4943]

Awesome! A little voiceover would be nice. Great skills!

Beautiful work!

Nice work!

Hi very nice 👌 and clean. What wire and flux you used to solder copper and ss

Hot dog Is that you Adam Iam Georges You are building my still right now Great Video bro

[@oswaldoruizf.jr.9898]

Great work Wow !

[@omid8808]

It was great, beautiful, best quality / May I ask a question? What brand is your welding wire and can you tell me the amount of tin and silver in it?

[@timeye7684]

Beautiful

[@Brumasterj]

Great video awesome craftsmanship

[@copperstillco]

I appreciate that a lot. Thank you !

Hello!I want to make a copper container for a moonshine machine as a gift to a friend for his 65th anniversary.Please tell me how you connect the bottom and the cylindrical part of the future capacity of such a volume, as well as how you prepare the cylinder for its docking and subsequent soldering.Is it necessary to cut the edges of the sheet in the form of petals for their reliable coupling, or do you make do with the usual overlap of metal on metal with their subsequent soldering?And more:What thickness of metal for a volume of 100 liters would you recommend using?Thanks.

[@mr.mahoney]

Dude! Amazing I'm a welder turned diamond driller so I'm gonna see if my old shop will let me come mess around and try this if I can source some copper sheet what gauge so you use? Also amazing work really shocked you don't have more subscribers but I think people are headed to stainless for Price? Do you possibly have a DXF file for a plasma table?

[@mr.mahoney]

I'd love a step by step!

[@nsgibson]

Nice job! So, how did you crimp the copper sheet before you made the cylinder?

[@shaneharris-ki2ee]

Can I ask what your fave flux is (particularly) for copper to stainless . Info is few and far between for us here in australia

[@copperstillco]

@@shaneharris-ki2ee I’m using standard water soluble paste flux. Harris Water soluble to be exact. That being said. I know many people use Rubys for stainless to copper. I’ve never used it but it’s apparently specifically made for that application. It’s pink.

[@shaneharris-ki2ee]

@@copperstillco thank you 🙂

[@frenky4740]

Very nice !

[@davidharris9018]

What about the 2 lines that run down to near the bottom of the thumper? Did i miss that part?

[@copperstillco]

Nah. This is an old video. One of my first, I simply forgot to film that part. The footage is what I got of the process. 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol

[@Nicoe505]

Very good work and nice video. Can I buy one?

[@tomchristensen2914]

I need to add a 2nd port to the top of my thumper offset for infusing during a run so I don't have to open the system.

[@jasongannon7676]

Butiful work

[@daniellabunsky653]

Great vid and great skills. What solder do you use? and what flux? And same solder/flux for copper to stainless connections? What are you tricks for copper to stainless?

[@copperstillco]

Solder: Silvabrite 100 Flux: Worthington Water Soluble You on TikTok ? There’s a big shiner community on their. I answered these very questions on there that what made me think of it. You should consider checking on the app if you haven’t. I’m new to it myself. www.TikTok.com/@copperstillco Thanks for the question, I appreciate the support !

[@tojajato4544]

@@copperstillco Wydaje się, że przy takim składzie tego lutu(0,4% srebra)połączenie będzie zbyt słabe. It seems that with this composition of this solder (0.4% silver) the connection will be too weak

[@traverbays4997]

Why not use stay silv

[@copperstillco]

@@traverbays4997 for me the question is why would I ? Ya know? I’ve never had a reason to look into other flux. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@copperstillco]

@@traverbays4997 I should also add when I first started soldering I was working for another company, I used the flux I was given and didn’t know of other options. It’s to the point now that the process is so easy and straight forward I don’t feel changing the flux is necessary

[@MoonShineMike1]

What is in the spray bottle?

[@copperstillco]

Just water. I used it to kick start rot cooling process (because it crazy hot obviously) and the wetness helps wipe the residue off. I use three rags. The first to wipe the bulk of it off. The second has a bit of wrights brass polish on it. So I wipe it with that then use a dry rag to wipe that off. I do that to each area I solder. Helps make the final Polish easier. And ensures that flux doesn’t permanently stain the copper. Lol I like em to be shiny, at the very least for when a customer opens their product and get that wow factor!

[@michaelgillespie1206]

What kind of stainless are you soldering? You can't solder stainless.

[@copperstillco]

304 stainless ferrule from glacier tanks. Certainly applications, like this one in the video is very simple and easy to solder stainless to copper. Seems like a head scratcher on the surface but I do it daily.

[@brenohighland3259]

why are they called thumpers and what is their job ?

[@copperstillco]

@@brenohighland3259 The name “thumper” comes from the sound it makes during distillation. As the vapor enters the liquid inside, it creates a rhythmic “thumping” noise caused by bubbling and pressure changes. It has several purposes -Double Distillation: It allows the alcohol vapor from the boiler to re-condense and re-vaporize, effectively distilling it a second time for higher proof. -Infusion of Flavors: You can add fruits, herbs, or other ingredients to the thumper to infuse additional flavors into the final product. -Temperature Stabilization: The thumper helps maintain consistent temperatures and pressure during distillation. -Efficiency: It captures and reuses heat from the alcohol vapors, reducing the need for additional energy.

[@copperstillco]

@@brenohighland3259 it’ll also catch any ‘puking’ accidents from the boiler. There’s actually something called a slobber box that looks just like a thumper but it’s plumbed differently.

[@flajelflajel7760]

Very neat work

[@paulkurilecz4209]

Why is it called a thumper?

[@copperstillco]

@@paulkurilecz4209 because it makes a knocking or thump noise while it’s operating.

[@hunterwilliams9632]

nice job but needs to tell you something really doesn't teach you anything

[@copperstillco]

This is like 4 years old. Before I was my own business. In this video I was working with another company. Didn’t take as much footage back then cause I was on someone else’s clock. That being said, it was never suppose to be a ‘how to’ more as just part of a day, building a 5g thumper. I hope to do more involved, how to’s down the road.

[@ericjett8097]

I think a majority of us viewers would have preferred a voice-over with instructions as opposed to the gay ass background music

[@copperstillco]

🤣 That'd defintely be the way if the videos purpose were to walk people through step by step... but ya know, an interesting thing about people is we're all unique creatures.. everybody likes and wants something different. Can't please em all. I appreciate your input!
