If I remember correctly that was a custom designed stripping potstill. I dont recall who it was sold to. the price looks decent. would need a 1.2 million BTU steam boiler what else would you like to know?

Cage and sons will continue to stand as a name, but Gordon Cage, our namesake has passed. the family mourns his passing, for the time we will keep the name Cage and Sons, the Cage Brothers will continue on. Robert will continue on overseeing the steam engineering and maintenance, Steven will remain overseeing design, process engineering and mechanical engineering.

I parted ways with Artisan quite a while ago, I had done the design work on their stills. I still do help people from time to time that have one, and can no longer get help from ASD. drop me a message, I might be able to help

I have built a 40 tube x 12ft long for our distillery in Central Washington. 4" over 3" tube. can build one for you if you like, let me know your needs/specs.

I dont have any files or records from my time with ASD, but I remember every still I have designed. drop me a line, I'll do what I can to help.

I have a continuous stripping column in stock that can handle 8GPH wash input, can do thin wash or thick grain mashes.

if you can get 100% bio, Biodiesel (no petro aded) this is fairly inexpensive and is better than standard vegetable oil.

drop me a PM I'll walk you through setting that seal up correctly. as for the flooding, I would suggest a pump and float switch instead of the S trap.

dual uneven sized parallel valves. smaller globe valve for fine adjustment and a larger gate valve for gross.

we are located in Washington State, this is something we can provide.

I have a 500Lb and 1 Ton system designed, Waiting on pricing for Automation. assuming $20-25k before automation for 500Lb system and 35-40k for the 1 ton. still got a way to go with the prototype unit before I would consider it a complete unit, Automation being the highest priority.

if it is a standard frame size (56c for example) you can buy replacement units at Automationdirect.com

running a full 500Lb batch of peat smoked malt right now. just about fully converted, and can start the drying and smoking.

working on that currently. I have the 500 lb unit working with manual controls, but still waiting on pricing for full automation.

I've seen this happen with a ferment that has a lot of yeast solids in the wash. avoid pulling off the bottom of your fermenter, to leave the yeast bed intact, this should help if thats your issue.
