Description
Most 1,000–2,000 L brewhouse inquiries start the same way: the customer has a lease, a ceiling height and a batch size in mind, but no clear picture of how the vessels will actually be arranged. Batch size alone does not size a brewhouse — evaporation rate, knockout time and turns per day do.
We build these systems as two- or three-vessel configurations. A three-vessel set separates mash conversion from lautering, which buys cleaner wort and lets the kettle heat while the lauter tun runs. A two-vessel mash/lauter tun plus kettle/whirlpool is cheaper, shorter on floor space, and for a 1,000 L batch at one or two brews a day it is usually enough.
Vessel bodies are SUS304 with 3 mm shell and dished heads; 316L on kettle interior and wort-contact lines where chlorides in the brewing water are a concern. Welds are TIG, ground and pickled on product-contact surfaces, then passivated. Interior finish sits around Ra ≤ 0.6 µm — rough enough to hold a passive layer, smooth enough that trub does not lodge in the seams. Dimple jackets on the kettle and on the cone and lower cylinder of the fermenters run glycol at 2–3 bar.
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Batch volume | 1,000 / 1,500 / 2,000 L |
| Brewhouse | 2-vessel or 3-vessel, steam / electric / direct fire |
| Shell and heads | SUS304, 3 mm; 316L optional |
| Fermenter working pressure | 0.2 MPa, with spring-loaded safety valve |
| Cooling | Dimple jacket, cone + lower cylinder, glycol |
| Cleaning | 360° rotating spray ball, CIP pump and caustic tank |
| Control | PID temperature, PLC with batch logging optional |
Space planning matters more than the datasheet. Leave 1.2 m of clearance around the kettle for dry-hopping and CIP access, and run the glycol header above the tanks so condensate does not pool on the floor.
Questions we get before quotation
Can we start at 1,000 L and expand? Yes, if the kettle and heat exchanger are sized for the final batch volume. Retrofitting a brewhouse later costs far more than buying one size up.
Steam or electric? Electric works well up to 1,000 L with a 60–90 minute heat-up. At 2,000 L, a small steam boiler gives steadier ramps and lower element wear.
What utilities do you need from us? Steam or 380/460 V supply, chilled water or glycol loop, compressed air for valves, and floor drains near the CIP station.
Tell us your batch size, beer type, number of fermentation tanks and available space. We can recommend the tank volume, cooling area and configuration for your brewery.

Although there were a few minor issues, thanks to Polly’s help, it looks brilliant and has brought my little distillery quite a few new customers.
Very good！！I see now in my texting to you that in my excitement over having the installation here in the USA I totally forgot to give you and the company of ACE a very big compliment on the quality of the whole Installation!! It all looks fabulous and the way you packed it in the container was extraordinary!! I am very impressed with your company and want to say a big thank you to everybody who worked on my order!!
We have been using this still for a few batches now making whiskey, gin and a few other spirits and we are very happy with the results so far. The gear works well and gives good control during distillation. The spirit comes out clean and consistent from batch to batch and we have gotten the flavor profile we were looking for. It has also been easy to operate and maintain. It has been a great addition to our distillery and I’d definitely recommend it to other craft distillers looking for reliable equipment.”
Polly is the man! I highly recommend him and this products they produce! I’m very satisfied. she communicates very well and the quality of workmanship is excellent! Shipping was exceptional. Thannks Polly and team
