Description
10BBL Jacketed Unitank: Fermentation and Maturation in One Vessel
A brewpub or small craft brewery often uses a 10BBL unitank for about 1,170–1,200 L of usable beer with headspace for krausen. The 1,500 L gross volume, 60° cone, and cooling jackets on cone and body let you run primary fermentation, diacetyl rest, and cold crash without transferring beer. The cone helps yeast settle and dump cleanly. That reduces oxygen pickup and cleaning labor.
We build the tank around your process. SUS304 is standard for ale and lager duty. For sour or mixed-fermentation programs, we can use SUS316L on wetted parts. Internal TIG welds are pickled and passivated. Product-contact surfaces are polished to 0.4–0.8 µm Ra; exteriors are brushed or mirror-polished. EPDM or silicone gaskets are standard, with PTFE available for specific chemicals.
Cooling area is sized by fermentation heat load, not just tank volume. A 10BBL tank may need 1.5–2.0 m² of jacket area, depending on ale or lager temperatures and glycol supply. We position jacket ports for clean glycol loop piping. Pressure relief, sample valve, dry hop port, racking arm, and CIP spray ball are configured to your brewhouse.

FAQ
Can it carbonate? Yes, when ordered with a carbonation stone and suitable pressure rating. Confirm target CO2 volumes first.
Why use jackets? Active fermentation creates heat. Without control, ales can run too warm and lagers may stall or produce off-flavors.
How is CIP handled? A spray ball, pump, and caustic/acid cycles clean the tank. Cone drain and racking arm need inspection access.
Small brewery vs. commercial brewery? Small systems often favor manual valves and simple control. Larger plants usually specify automated glycol valves, temperature logging, and higher port counts.
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.”
