Most Distillers appreciate the simplicity of using a keg as a thumper instead of barrels. Our version of the 13 Gallon Thumper keg has a couple unique twists, designed after using most others on the market.

We start with a brand new 50 Liter Stainless Steel Keg. We cut out the original valve and weld in a 4" tri-clamp ferrule. Some Distillers have told us they do not need the 4" opening. However, the cost difference between a keg with a 2" or 4" opening is very little, and boy is the 4" opening nice when you want to clean it quick by hand. The larger opening also comes in handy for producers who may need to add fruit and flavorings.

A unique feature of our Thumper Keg is the 1.5" tri-clamp vapor in connection positioned at a 90 degree angle to the keg. These fittings are what the pros use for their simplicity, sanitary, and easy-to-use connection.
