about the blindness thing, i read somewhere in the past that if you make a good still, and pass it the evaproating substance through cold water, or a "Thump keg" this problem will be eliminated once and for all. i dont know if thats accurate or not though, hence, why i posted this thread.
Naw, a thumper is just to compensate for a crappy condenser. it's just an unheated chamber with tails or old mash in it. Not needed if you have a good condenser. Basically it pre-cools the steam. Won't take out methanol.
