The Volatile Acid Still is a glass apparatus specific
to the wine industry, for the determination
of volatile acids in wine by steam distillation. Our standard VA still includes an aspirator pump to suck the sample out after completion of the analysis, allowing for rapid cycling of samples. It's
precursor was the Cash Still and many people refer to these
stills generically as "Cash stills". For historical
interest, see our notes on the history
of the VA Still. Adams & Chittenden
Scientific Glass manufactures both the VA Still and Cash Still,
offering an exceptionally high quality product, with a new, improved
cordset and connector, and a large capacity condenser,
at competitive prices. We have been making VA Stills and
Cash Stills our entire glassblowing careers.
We are proud of our stills; they have a high "Wow" factor
to demonstrate our skills and quality. For instructions
on setup and operation, see the Instructions.
We were entertained to hear a
SoundClip on NPR's "Talk of the Nation" on Hearing
a Wine's Acidity featuring the sound of the VA Still. Thanks to Patrick
Taylor of Cuneo Cellars for permission to use his words and sounds. |
