A house where liquors are distilled; a distillery.
To cause to fall by drops.
To expel spirit from by heat, or to evaporate and condense in a refrigeratory; to distill.
To drop, or flow in drops; to distill.
An apparatus for distilling liquids, particularly alcohols; it consists of a vessel in which the liquid is vaporized by heat, and a cooling device in which the vapor is condensed.
a device used for separating one liquid from another liquid or substance by vaporization. The continuous still or pots still are the types in common use.
an apparatus used for the distillation of liquids; consists of a vessel in which a substance is vaporized by heat and a condenser where the vapor is condensed
a plant and works where alcoholic drinks are made by distillation
a chamber in which water is continuously boiling
Informal, familiar abbreviations of distillation unit.
(pot still) system used for the distillation; it consists in a copper boiler, a source of heat from the lower part is radiated, connected through a pipe, that carries the vapours to a condenser, then refrigerated where the distil is gathered.
An apparatus , usually made of copper, in which the distiller's beer is purified by means of heating the liquid to at least 176 degrees Fahrenheit, but less than 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Because alcohol boils at a temperature lower than water, the alcohol can be evaporated, collected, and condensed.
(aka pot stills)- traditionally made from copper which produce whisky in batches.
Whether a pot or continuous still, operation is on the principal that alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water and is driven off as vapour, leaving behind the water. It is subsequently condensed back into liquid form.
A device which changes a lower strength solution into a higher one by heating it and separating the lighter vapors that result from the heavier ones. In producing Scotch whisky, a kind of beer, referred to as low wines, is transformed in this way, either by a single run through a continuous, or Coffey still (for grain whisky) or by two or three runs through a pot still. The three-run, or triple distilled method, is the traditional method in the Lowlands. A large part of a malt whisky's character results from the configuration of this essential piece of equipment. So much so that certain distilleries, when replacing a worn-out still, will try to recreate the old model right down to its dents
An apparatus for distillation, consisting essentially of a closed vessel in which the substance to be distilled is subjected to the action of heat; often connected to an alembic* or other vessel for the condensation of vapors.
A still is an apparatus used to distill miscible or immiscible (eg. steam distillation) liquid mixtures by heating to selectively boil and then cooling to condense the vapor. Stills have been used to produce perfume and medicine, Water for Injection (WFI) for pharmaceutical use, generally to separate and purify different chemicals, and most famously, to produce distilled beverages containing ethyl alcohol.
