The copper tubes, with excellent thermal conductivity, efficiently cool the distilled steam for refined wine. The built-in metal thermometer displays Fahrenheit and Celsius with a temperature range of (32-400°F)0-200°C, allowing for precise temperature control during fermentation. The Thumper keg in this home brewing kit can be used to enrich the flavor of the finished wine by adding materials like petals, fruits, or spices. A one-way exhaust valve ensures a good sealing effect for fermentation, and sturdy sealing buckles and rings help to seal tightly.
