Description
Breweries usually come to us when the cellar has become the bottleneck. Batch sizes have grown, tank turnover is tight, and the existing fermenters cannot hold pressure for carbonation. This jacketed vessel is built for that stage of growth — 1000 L (about 8.5 BBL) and 2000 L (20 BBL) working volumes, with glycol jackets welded directly to the shell and cone.
Product contact surfaces are SUS304 as standard. For sour programs, fruit additions or high-chloride cleaning cycles, we switch to 316L. The inner shell runs 3 mm, outer cladding 2 mm, and every internal weld is ground, polished to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm, then pickled and passivated. Skipping passivation is the most common shortcut we see in low-cost tanks, and it shows up years later as corrosion along the weld toes.
Headspace is sized at 25% for krausen. The cone is normally 60° included, with 75° available for dry-hopped or heavily fruited beers. Dimple jackets give even cooling without the dead spots that come from widely spaced channel jackets.
| Parameter | Specification |

| Certification | CE, ISO 9001 |
Standard fittings include a CIP spray ball, racking arm, sample valve, dry hopping port, thermowell, pressure gauge and adjustable pressure relief valve. Working pressure is 0.2 MPa; the PRV must be set below that value, never above it. A relief valve sized higher than the tank rating protects nothing.
Can I carbonate in the tank?
Yes, up to 0.2 MPa with the PRV set correctly. Small breweries often run these as combined fermenter and brite tanks. Larger ones ferment here and transfer to a dedicated brite for packaging stability.
What do you need to size a tank?
Batch volume, beer style, expected top pressure, ceiling height, door width, and whether the cellar floor is rated for the loaded weight.
How does the cooling loop connect?
Each jacket zone gets its own inlet and outlet, typically 1.5 in or DN40 tri-clamp, matched to your chiller header. Uneven zone control is the usual cause of slow crashes.
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
It took 60 days from ordering to delivery, and it looks like a work of art. Thank you to Polly for her help.
It was quite a big job to put the distiller together, so I asked a friend to help me, and I managed to get it done in just eight hours. I’m really pleased with it – it looks brilliant.Ryan Murphy
