Trevor Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I stumbled across an interesting old patent for a still improvement. Can't quite figure is this thing out but I have reason to believe the inventor had a lot of distillery experience. The PDF has the description. Thoughts?

Silk City Distillers Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Less of a patent for a new kind of distillation, seems to have more in common with a carter head. Combination carter head/thumper? He states that the still, thumper, and condenser are not part of the invention, and it's really the third chamber that's the innovation. It has a chamber for herbs, flavoring, or even activated carbon. It has an additional set of perforated plates, and some kind of variable thumper?

His invention seems to be a doubler then a carbon filter then a botanical chamber.
